Question

I have got a simple input tag

<input type="text" id="textb" name="textbox"/>

jquery is

$("document").ready(function(){

$("#textb").live("keyup",function(){
alert($(this).val());
//this gives me complete value inserted by user 
})
})

the question is that i want to get only the last value inserted by user
if user enter (“hello”),Than it should show alert(“o”)

Answer 1

You could update to this:

alert($(this).val().substr($(this).val().length-1));
