$(document).ready(function() { $(input[id^=’question’]).live(‘keyup’,function(ev){ id=this.id.substr(8); if (ajaxCallTimeoutID != null) clearTimeout(ajaxCallTimeoutID); ajaxCallTimeoutID = setTimeout(function(){subjectivecheck(id)}, 1000); });

$(document).ready(function() {
 $("input[id^='question']").live('keyup',function(ev){
    id=this.id.substr(8);
    if (ajaxCallTimeoutID != null)
    clearTimeout(ajaxCallTimeoutID);
ajaxCallTimeoutID = setTimeout(function(){subjectivecheck(id)}, 1000);
}); 
});

There is a problem. When a user pastes text into an input field, the function above can not be fired. How to solve this problem?

    The onchange event is what you want here. It fires when the textbox loses focus (blur) and has had its value changed since it received focus. It takes care of the paste problem.

    So instead of .live('keyup', use live('change'.

    This is as good as it gets, without using some ridiculous interval polling. And just for the purpose of context, be aware that any user can disable Javascript in the browser whenever they feel like it.
