I want to call a function when I have a textfield focused and then unfocus it (whether I press TAB or click elsewhere with the mouse) and I used this code:
$("#settings_view #my_profile_div input").focus(function() {
$(this).blur(function() {
change_my_profile();
});
});
When I first run it (have a field focused then unfocus it) it runs one time as expected. However, the second time it calls the function change_my_profile twice. The third time it ran 3 times and so on.
What is the problem here and how do I solve it? (I tried with 'throw' after change_my_profile and then it only ran one time, but I want to locate the problem anyway).

it is binding a
blur
event every time a focus event is initiated, that's why you are getting multiple executionstry
and then in your
change_my_profile
function do the following
