jQuery .on keyup and blur firing onload only

Question

Problem: The blur and keyup events each fire once onload, and only onload. How can I get them to work correctly?

jQuery:

function myFunction(text){
    alert(text);
}
$('#input1').on({
    keyup: myFunction('keyup'),
    blur: myFunction('blur'),
    focus: function(){console.log('focus!');}
});

Answer 1

You are not assigning a function to keyup and blur, you're assigning the result of the execution of myFunction.

Change it like this:

$('#input1').on({
    keyup: function() { myFunction('keyup'); },
    blur:  function() { myFunction('blur'); },
    focus: function() { console.log('focus!'); }
});
