Question

A total newbie question, so please bear with me here 😉

When a key press occurs in a HTML text input control, there are two events that seem useful in managing it (onKeyPress and onChanged). onKeyPress fires after the key has been pressed, but before the operation has been applied to the control’s text. The later is only fired when focus is removed from the control and edits were made.

My question: Is there a way to capture the event, after the key press has been applied to the control but w/o removing focus (so I can work off of the resultant text)? Or is this pretty much the options I have to work off of?

Thanks!

You may also want to look at onkeyup and onkeydown events. I suspect you’re interested in onkeyup. Perhaps you could provide more info and I could give a more complete example.
