Question

How can I bind an OnChange event of a TextBox to function using jQuery?

Am trying this and its failing:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(\"input#

You must change the event name from "change" to "onchange":

$(document).ready(function(){
        $("input#tags").bind("onchange", autoFill);
          });

or use the shortcut binder method change:

$(document).ready(function(){
        $("input#tags").change(autoFill);
          });

Note that the onchange event usually fires when the user leave the input, so for auto-complete you better use the keydown event.
