rated 0 times [ 94] [ 2] / answers: 1 / hits: 20731 / 11 Years ago, wed, february 20, 2013, 12:00:00

I need to check for all events which will change the contents of my text input. so far I have handlers for keyup, cut and paste. but the content can also be changed by highlighting the text and clicking delete or undo. is there a way to listen for these events?

$('#input').on('paste cut  keyup ',function() {

    //add delete and undo to listner

});

You have more problems than this, you also have to worry about browsers with autofill features, etc. For this reason HTML5 has included the input event, which is included in modern browsers.

See this answer for a method of capturing every conceivable change event(*) the browser will let you capture, without firing more than once per change.

_{(*) Looks like they forgot cut, so add that in too.}
