Load jquery function upon completing a text input

Question

Is it possible to load a jquery function right after the user has completed a text input (not on form submission)?

This doesn't seem to work:

<?
if (isset($_POST['textinput'])) {echo "loadjqfunction()";}
?>

Thanks.

You are mixing server and client processing. What is telling you that a text input has been completed? Blur? $(function() { $("#textinput").on("blur",loadjqfunction) }); — mplungjan

what do you mean/consider by "has completed a text input" ? a focus on next element or on the click of a button/link? — Sergio

This should be done entirely in Javascript:

$("#textinput").change(loadjqfunction);
