Question

I am using asp.net MVC.

I have control like

<%= Html.TextBox("username") %>

I want lost focus event to that control.

So code like

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#username").Attributes.Add("onblur", "alert('losing focus');");
});

but it is not working,

Ultimate goal is to check password & confirm password matches

It looks like you’re trying to use C# code in jQuery?

The easiest way to bind an event to onblur in jQuery is:

$("#username").blur(function() { alert('losing focus'); });

More information on blur() is available at http://docs.jquery.com/Events/blur
