How can I prevent the default behavior of closing the x-editable input box when the focus changed to something else?.

My requirement is to keep the input box open until a click on the tick or cross button happens.

I believe you are looking for {onblur: "ignore"}.

From the documentation:

Action when the user clicks outside the container. Can be cancel|submit|ignore.
Setting ignore allows having several containers open.

Please see this fiddle, or the below demo.

$(function() {

  $.fn.editable.defaults.mode = 'inline';
  $('#publicname-change').editable({ onblur:"ignore"})

});
