How can I call a function after a person stops typing?

I have an input on an HTML page where a person will enter something, and what I want is a function that needs to be called every time they stop typing. I know about the onkeypress event, but this is called every time a character is typed. Here is an example of what I would like:

  • Character type "this is a test" in the input
  • After the user stops typing, the function foo () should be called
  • Person enters something else into the entrance
  • After the user stops typing, the function foo () should be called
  • Repeat ....

Is it possible?

Thank you so much!

If I understand well, "stop typing" means "no keystrokes for a certain amount of time." In this case you need to use timers: http://jsfiddle.net/xnghR/1/
