Question

I’m attempting to write a very basic script using javascript. What I want to do is be able to detect whenever a textarea is modified, and then make some changes to other elements.

This is my jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/QDRHT/1/

I’m attempting to detect whenever a new character is entered into the textarea, then modify the background color of a nearby div. However, it’s not working at all, and I can’t tell why (I’m new to Javascript, although I did make sure to validate my HTML and CSS, and run the javascript through JSLint).

If it matters, I’m running this in IE 9.

Answer 1

The window.onload handler will not be triggered, because you add this within other load event’s handler.So remove it. Also instead of onKeyPress use onkeypress(all letters should be lowercase).

Changed version is here.
