I'll try to tackle some of the problems with your code (in hope that they magically match your HTML):

function create(){
    var textbox = document.createElement("input");
    var para = document.createElement("p");
    para.setAttribute("id", "p");
    textbox.type = 'text';
    textbox.value='asdf';
    textbox.setAttribute("id","textbox");
    // The following is a valid way to attach an event handler:
    textbox.onblur = function(){ 
        para.innerHTML = document.getElementById('textbox').value);
    }
    document.body.appendChild(textbox);
}
