Hi,
can someone let me know what event ( if any ) is fired when a user types something in a text box WITHOUT exiting the control. I don't think the answer is onChange, this requires exiting the control
"The onChange event handler executes JavaScript code when input focus exits the field after the user modifies its text. "
http://www.eborcom.com/webmaker/tuto....html#onChange
I want to flag a message if the cotents of a text box are changed without leaving the control, so if, for example a textbox contains the worg dog and I delete the g then the event would fire.
Thanks in advance.
Lenin.

You can try the onKeyDown event but I'm not sure how widely supported it is. It might only work in IE. Here's an example of how it can work:
Code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>test.asp</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function echoIt()
{
parText.innerHTML = txtTest.value;
}
-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<INPUT NAME="txtTest" ID="txtTest" SIZE=20 onKeyDown="echoIt()">
<P NAME="parText" ID="parText"></P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
