Question

I need to run execFunc(); not only when the user moves onto the next field, but also runs when the user remains focused on the same field for 5 seconds.

$('input[name="email"]').bind('blur', function () {
 execFunc();
});

Answer 1

var timer = null;
$('input[name="email"]').blur(function(e){
  if (timer) clearTimeout(timer);
  execFunc();
}).focus(function(e){
  timer = setTimeout(execFunc, 5000);
});

If you’re doing form validation, there are better ways of doing this.
