 function doGet() {
   var app = UiApp.createApplication();
   var button = app.createButton("a button");
   var handler = app.createServerHandler("handlerFunction");
   button.addBlurHandler(handler);
   app.add(button);
   return app;
 }

 function handlerFunction(eventInfo) {
   var parameter = eventInfo.parameter;
   // the type of event, in this case "blur".
   var eventType = parameter.eventType;
