Internal Field name not returning value

Question

I am using an OOTB field entitled Email that does not seem to be working. I have a really simple code that on change of the field value a pop up will return that field value:

$(document).ready(function(){
   var textarea=$(":input[title='Email']");
          textarea.blur(function(){            
              alert(textarea);         
         });
});

I have looked in the HTML code on the form and it returned this:

<tr>
    <td nowrap="true" valign="top" width="113px" class="ms-formlabel"> 
        <h3>class="ms-standardheader">
             <nobr>Email Address<span class="ms-accentText" title="This is a required field."> *</span></nobr>
        </h3>
    </td>
    <td valign="top" width="350px" class="ms-formbody">
    <!-- FieldName="Email Address"
         FieldInternalName="Email"
         FieldType="SPFieldText"
      -->
    <span dir="none"><input type="text" value="" maxlength="255" id="Email_fce16b4c-fe53-4793-aaab-b4892e736d15_$TextField" title="Email Address Required Field" class="ms-long ms-spellcheck-true"><br></span>
    </td>

It seems the out of the box solution does not work. Any Ideas?

Try this

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    jQuery("input[id^='Email']").blur(function() {
      alert( "Event Fired" );
    });     
});

Your code didn't worked because jQuery was trying to select input element which has title equal to Email. But as you can see rendered HTML doesn't have any such element.

My fix was to find input element which has Id starts with Email.
