jQuery get input value after keypress

Question

I have the following function:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(\"#dSuggest\").keypress(function() {
        var dInput = $(\'input:text[name=dSuggest]\'         


        

Answer 1

You have to interrupt the execution thread to allow the input to update.

  $(document).ready(function(event) {
       $("#dSuggest").keypress(function() {
           //Interrupt the execution thread to allow input to update
               setTimeout(function() {
                   var dInput = $('input:text[name=dSuggest]').val();
                   console.log(dInput);
                   $(".dDimension:contains('" + dInput + "')").css("display","block");
               }, 0);
       });
  });
