Question

If you've got HTML5:

• oninput (fires only when a change actually happens, but does so immediately)

Otherwise you need to check for all these events which might indicate a change to the input element's value:

• onchange
• onkeyup (not keydown or keypress as the input's value won't have the new keystroke in it yet)
• onpaste (when supported)

and maybe:

• onmouseup (I'm not sure about this one)
