javascript jquery function trigger solution

Question

I have a function that is currently triggered by a focusout of an input element via

$('#wrapper').on('focusout','input[name=state]',function(){ 
    /* execute function */
});

The problem I am having is if someone decides to just skip that element with say a mouse click (as this input element is auto filled using the ziptastic plugin) then the function will not trigger. I tried .on('change') but that did not seem to work.

What would be the best way to trigger this function once input[name=state] has been filled out.

Add a change event handler too:

$('#wrapper').on('focusout change','input[name=state]',function(){

And then also trigger the change event ($('#wrapper input[name=state]').change()) after the ziptastic plugin has been run. The change event won't fire if the value is set by .val("something").

You can use onchange, it occurs either before or after the onblur.
