How to call a function using script

Question

I have a textbox which is set up to convert a number into currencies using the following line:

$("#price").live('keydown', currenciesOnly).live('blur', function () { $(this).formatCurrency(); });

In order for the textbox to convert 81 to $81.00 the following needs to happen:

How can I make it so the currency textbox converts to currency as soon as it has a value instead of losing focus?

several different mask plugins you could use. Appears from your use of live() you are running fairly old version of jQuery so check compatibility with your version — charlietfl

Blur event fire only when control lose focus, use keydown event or input event instead.

You probably don’t want interrupt while user is typing, setup a timer do formatCurrentcy when no keydown for a while.
