Provided I cannot edit the HTML code at all how would I do this? 

<input type="text" id="Identifier"     
class="inputControlFlexWidth" value="" tabindex="9" size="25" 
name="texthole">

I’m guessing this has to be a timed event such as 

setInterval(ObserveInputValue(), 100);

Because the input can happen at any time.

I then want to use this text to update a URL.

Thanks.

Edit:

<input id="ServiceRequestEditForm.CustomObject6 Name.hidden" type="hidden" value="" 
tabindex="-1" name="ServiceRequestEditForm.CustomObject6 Name.hidden">

    One way is 

    $('#Identifier').blur(function(){
    $(this).val();
});

    Explanation: When the input loses focus, grab the value of the field.

    EDIT

    As per the comments…

    @Interstellar_Coder is right about spaces inside the id.

    So, instead of using the id as the “hook”, you could use the name attribute:

    $('input[name="ServiceRequestEditForm.CustomObject6 Name.hidden"]')
