I need to change text in a text box with jQuery, before onBlur and without using key events.

For example, if the text in the box was changed without the user typing any input, I could handle that event.

I’ve tried using $('input.myInput').change(), but the event only fires after the user tabs off of that text box.

Any help is appreciated.

Many thanks!

    Simply put, there isn’t and event for value/attribute change (called a Mutation Event) built into jQuery.

    There are some plugins out there; however, YMMV with them. I hope you find something that works for you!

    Good luck.
