I'm trying something like this:
<textarea onFocus = "myFunction(1)" onBlur = "myFunction(0); return submitform();">
Is this possible?

The function you run can call multiple functions as the syntax you have there does. What's the problem?Quentin– Quentin2014-03-20 08:57:36 +00:00Commented Mar 20, 2014 at 8:57

Yes but the syntax is wrong, see this edited textarea:
<textarea onfocus="myFunction(1);" onblur="myFunction(0); return submitform();">
^------ ^-------- small letter is important
A yet better way would be to attach jQuery event handlers, or similiar with a different preferred framework.

note : attaching events to elements is also possible in pure JS without frameworks

HTML attribute names are case insensitive.

@Quentin in XHTML,
onFocus is invalid: You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element.Quentin
@DanFromGermany — So what? The question is tagged
html not xhtml.Daniel W.
@Quentin xhtml is html too, don't be a nitpicker. It's better to get used to good coding standards than to enforce the bad ones.

Yes you can. The text between the two "" is actually considered as a function. So it is a unnamed function calls your other functions.

Answer given by @DanFromGermny is right,
you can try this also
<textarea onfocus="myFunction(1);" onblur="(function(){myFunction(0); return submitform();})(event)">
