function submitValue(myValue) { do stuff... }
<input type="text" onblur="submitValue(this.value);">
That may or may not work in certain older versions of netscape or other
browsers, so you would use submitValue(document.myform.myinputfield.value);
and just make sure your form has a name attribute to reference there...
