html5 input event,javascript - html text input onchange event - Stack Overflow

When I'm doing something like this I use the onKeyUp event.

function bar() {

//do stuff

}

but if you don't want to use an HTML event you could try to use jQuerys .change() method

$('.target').change(function() {

//do stuff

});

in this example, the input would have to have a class "target"

if you're going to have multiple text boxes that you want to have done the same thing when their text is changed and you need their data then you could do this:

$('.target').change(function(event) {

//do stuff with the "event" object as the object that called the method

)};

that way you can use the same code, for multiple text boxes using the same class without having to rewrite any code.
