jQuery bind error "event is not defined"

Currently I'm doing something like this in markup 

<input type="text" ONKEYPRESS="InputNumeric(event);" id="txtNumber" />

But I want to use the jQuery bind method instead for all the obvious reasons.

jQuery(function($)
{
    $("#txtNumber").bind("keyup", InputNumeric(event));
});

But when I try the above I get the below error

"event is not defined"

What should this syntax look like?

EDIT

The actual solution I got working is shown below.

$("#txtPriority").keypress(function (e) { InputInteger(e); });

looks like InputNumeric is an existing function that takes an event as parameter, In that case this should also work

$("#txtNumber").bind("keyup",InputNumeric);

Arguments passed back via jquery callbacks are always implied, so simply writing the function name is enough.

$("#txtNumber").bind("keyup",InputNumeric);

function InputNumeric(event){
    $(event.target).dosomething(); // is the same as
    $(this).dosomething();
}
