<input type="button" value="blur"  id="blur">

let input = document.querySelector('#input');
let focus = document.querySelector('#focus');
let blur  = document.querySelector('#blur');

// By clicking on the focus button, we set the focus to the input:
focus.addEventListener('click', function() {
	input.focus();
});

// By clicking on the blur button, we will remove focus from the input:
blur.addEventListener('click', function() {
