Question

According to the JQuery API, the change for text fields only fire when focus is lost:

For select boxes, checkboxes, and radio buttons, the event is fired immediately when the user makes a selection with the mouse, but for the other element types the event is deferred until the element loses focus.

Is there an event that doesn’t have this focus lost requirement?

I want the event to fire whenever a text field has visibly changed, accounting for the various ways it might change (keyboard, mouse copy-and-paste, etc.)

Thanks!

I would recomment binding the input event along with keyup to support older browsers.

$('input').on('input keyup', function(e) {
    // Do stuff
});
