Detecting value change of input[type=text] in jQuery

Question

I want to execute a function every time the value of a specific input box changes. It almost works with $(\'input\').keyup(function), but nothing happe

Answer 1

DON'T FORGET THE cut or select EVENTS!

The accepted answer is almost perfect, but it forgets about the cut and select events.

cut is fired when the user cuts text (CTRL + X or via right click)

select is fired when the user selects a browser-suggested option

You should add them too, as such:

$("#myTextBox").on("change paste keyup cut select", function() {
   //Do your function 
});
