what about the event for when text changes, I think 'onchange' or
'ontextchange' or something like that

[quoted text, click to view]

In our application, we've added a bit of JavaScript that updates a title as
the user types into a textbox. To trigger this, we patch into the "onkeyup"
and "onpaste" events:

FirstName.Attributes("onkeyup") = "ChangeTitle();"
FirstName.Attributes("onpaste") = "ChangeTitle();"

This works a treat but neither of these events fire if the user happens to
enter a foreign character using the standard Windows ALT key plus numberic
keypad, e.g. Alt-0225 generates "á".

Anyone got any idea which, if, any event to handle for this situation?

Thanks, Rob.

This was posted with a MSDN friendly email address - isn't somebody from
Microsoft supposed to comment?

Thanks, Rob.

onchange will fire but only when the text box looses focus. However, I think
this will have to be a workaround for now.

Thanks, Rob.

Are you Bobby Moore? :-) I'll check - we're handling onkeyup but will try
onkeypress.

Thanks, Rob.

I think they only comment when the post has not received a useful reply.

Hmm :-) onkeypress doesn't trigger when ALT input option is used. We'll put
up with onchange firing when the user moves focus outside of the textbox.

Cheers, Rob.
