Question

What I want to do is whenever I type a value in the text field, the value typed will be displayed right away.

How do I do it exactly? Is there anyway I could put the value in a variable and use it right away without using onClick?

Answer 1

Here is how I would do it:

<script>
function change(){
    var el1 = document.getElementById("div1");
    var el2 = document.getElementById("text");
    el1.innerHTML = el2.value;
}
</script>

<input type="text" id="text" onkeypress="change()">
<div id="div1"></div>

I don’t think you can do it without any events.
Maybe you can do it with HTML5’s <output> tag. I don’t know it very well, but try some research.
W3Schools have some good examples.

Hope this can help you
