jQuery and Mysidia: A struggle

[IntoRain]

Thank you! When you get to it it will be lovely if you can share the results ^^ I will share mine if I can put it to work and fix these annoyances. Or maybe I can post what I already have and maybe we can fix it somehow when you have time?

I tried the onblur() thing, but it didn't seem to do anything xD I will investigate on how to use it. Makes sense to only avaliate the full word after clicking away or tabbing

(and thank you, I agree on that xD I will keep echo'ing then, I don't know how much javascript I will need - I will probably only have that stuff in the register page plus in another page, so there's really no need to include it everywhere I guess)

---------------------------------------------------------

So with tabbing, it seems to work perfectly. With anything else like clicking outside it keeps spazzing out: Without me doing anything it will keep reading the full word, then half the word, then just one letter lol xD
The current code is like this:

PHP Code:

$(document).ready(function(){
                var ready = 0;                
                $('input#username').keydown(function(e){
                $('.div07').html('<i>Loading...</i>');    
                var key = e.which;
                var username = $(this).val();
                if(key == 9)
                {
                    $.post('/register/checkusername', {username:username},function(result) {
                        if(ready == 0){ if(result[0] != '0'){
                            $('.div07').html('<i>Username is empty or is already being used:</i>' + username)}
                        else{
                        $('.div07').html('<i>Username can be used:</i>' + username)}
                        }});                    
                }
                else{
                    $('input#username').focus(function(){
                    //var username = $(this).val();
                    });
                    $('input#username').focusout(function(){
                        username = $(this).val();
                        $.post('/register/checkusername', {username:username},function(result) {
                            if(ready == 0){ if(result[0] != '0'){
                                $('.div07').html('<i>Username is empty or is already being used:</i>' + username)}
                            else{
                            $('.div07').html('<i>Username can be used:</i>' + username)}
                            }});    
                    });
                }
                });}) 


This seems to somewhat work (with the focus and tabbing you recommended!) Thank you!
