detecting change in a text input box using jquery/javascript

javascript, jquery

Solution

You could capture the paste event (http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/events/cutcopypaste.html)

$("#myinput").bind("paste",function(){
    //code here
})

Problem

in html and javascript, I can use keyup, focus, blur to detect most of the content changes in a text input, however if the user do a copy and paste into the text input, how do I capture this change? The issue here is that the input is already in focus when user paste into it.
