Name
Text.onchange — the handler invoked when input value changes
Availability
JavaScript 1.0
Synopsis
<input type="text" onchange="handler" ... >text.onchange
Description
The
onchange property of a Text element refers to an
event handler function that is invoked when the user changes the
value in the input field and then “commits” those changes
by moving keyboard focus (i.e., by clicking the mouse elsewhere or
pressing Tab or Return).
Note that the onchange event handler is
not invoked when the value
property of a Text object is set by JavaScript. Also note that this
handler is intended to process a complete change to the input value,
and therefore it is not invoked on a keystroke-by-keystroke basis.
See the HTMLElement.onkeypress reference page for
information on receiving notification of every key press event.
See Input.onchange for complete details about the
onchange event handler.
