Call actual function from blur()

Question

I'm trying to write some jquery that will call a function when an object is blurred. Because of some of the requirement in my underlying code, I need to call a function, like this:

$("object").blur(myFunction());

instead of like this:

$("object").blur(function() {
  //do stuff
});

Unfortunately, binding the blur event using the first method doesn't work. It actually runs the method on page load, and then never binds the function. What am I doing wrong here?

I've set up a jsfiddle that demonstrates my problem, if it helps you visualize. http://jsfiddle.net/WskKJ/

Answer 1

$("object").blur(myFunction);

dont use () when u pass a delegate
