Question

I’m making a post page for my website, and I would like to add an auto update preview box, showing what is being typed into the text box above. Obviously i’d like to use javascript, or jquery. And the thing I need is basically the same thing as on the ask page for this website!

Answer 1

Are you looking for .keyup()?

Look at this fiddle for a simple example: http://jsfiddle.net/LUDWQ/2/

$('#tb1').keyup(function() {
    $('#tb2').val($('#tb1').val());
});

When putting in into a div and not another textbox you can use this:

$('#tb1').keyup(function() {
    $('#tb2').html($('#tb1').val()); //tb2 is a <div> here
});
