How to make a real "onchange" event in HTML (no jQuery)?
dom-events, forms, html, javascript
Solution
Following is a simple way of invoking each type of Key Press on field.
input type="text" onkeypress="myFunction()

Enjoy..
you can also use onkeyup and onkeydown instead of onkeypress.
Problem
Please note: I do not want to use `jQuery` for this (otherwise I like it) Problem: I have come to situation where I need to do some javascript function after an user changes an input field (e.g. `input type="text"`). So I said to myself - I remember an `onchange` event - BUT `onchange` event runs AFTER user leaves the field, but I need the function to be called for example every time user types a character to that field. Wowhead shows nice example of what I am trying to achieve this (field with placeholder "Search within results...") Summary: I am looking for a SIMPLE way of detecting REAL `onchange` event(not the classic HTML one)and through that call a JS function while not using jQuery?
