jQuery multiple events to trigger the same function

Question

Is there a way to have keyup, keypress, blur, and change events call the same function in one line or do I have to do the

Answer 1

If you attach the same event handler to several events, you often run into the issue of more than one of them firing at once (e.g. user presses tab after editing; keydown, change, and blur might all fire).

It sounds like what you actually want is something like this:

$('#ValidatedInput').keydown(function(evt) {
  // If enter is pressed
  if (evt.keyCode === 13) {
    evt.preventDefault();

    // If changes have been made to the input's value, 
    //  blur() will result in a change event being fired.
    this.blur();
  }
});

$('#ValidatedInput').change(function(evt) {
  var valueToValidate = this.value;

  // Your validation callback/logic here.
});
