Is there a way to get an "exitGroup" behavior when someone clicks a non-group field

The behavior, though, depends upon whether that exitField is going to
the next field  of the group, or clean out of the group

I'm not following--wouldn't the mouseUp/Dn go outside the group when
someone clicks the external field?

could I use mouseWithin, perhaps?  Does moving the cursor outside the
current field count as "using the browser control"?

I would like the user, when done with the extra fields in the group,
to be able to exit by any obvious means--the command to close, tabbing
out (which I can detect), or just clicking where he wants to be next.

Being able to tell that a click occurred outside the invisible
background graphic sounds the best so far . . .
