Detect Javascript event type

There is a function OPEN in my javascript which is called when the user either blur (lose focus on the input field) or hit Enter.

Then within OPEN(), depending on whether it was triggered by blur or keypress, it leads to two different other functions.

For the Keypress, I did it like this.

        if (e.keyCode==13) ENTER_FX();

How do you do this for BLUR

Thank you

UPDATE:

I found that it should be e.type==focusout

So is focusout the right word instead of blur?

WORKING JSFIDDLE EXAMPLE

e.type

gives you this information

function OPEN(e) {

    if (e.type !== blur) {

        if (e.keyCode === 13) {

            ENTER_FX();

        }

    }

    else {

        ENTER_FX();

    }

}
