Question

I have an input field where a user can paste a link. I would like to have a div appear as soon as the user adds a URL to the input field.

Until now I used .blur and .onfocus, but the div only appears once I click outside the input field after pasting the URL.

It’s like on Facebook: as soon as you paste a link it will load a box without reloading the page.

Answer 1

.blur is the opposite of .focus — it triggers when the specified field loses focus. You need to use something that triggers every time a key is pressed, like .keyup

Note that .change will not work — it also only fires when the field loses focus
