onblur event

Hi, instead of placing an onblur event directly on the element in html, I was wondering if it was possible to do something like this?
$(document).ready(function() {

$("#depart").onblur(function(){

...

I cant get this working, but dont even know if its possible.

Thanks

With jQuery, it's .blur() instead of .onblur().

Good luck
