This technique is working for me       myInputFieldId   bind  input  function                    alert  Hello              Note that according to this JQuery doc   on  is recommended rather than bind in newer versions

Seems to me like you are updating the value of the text field in javascript  onchange event will be triggered only when you key-in data and tab out of the text field    One workaround is to trigger the textbox change event when modifying the textbox value from the script  See below       kat   change function         alert  Hello              lt tab cell gt    click  function             kat          val   this  text      updating the value of the textbox         change                trigger change event

I recently was wondering why my code doesn t work  then I realized  I need to setup the event handlers as soon as the document is loaded  otherwise when browser loads the code line by line  it loads the JavaScript  but it does not yet have the element to assign the event handler to it  with your example  it should be like this     document  ready function             kat   change function              alert  Hello

This is from a comment on the jQuery documentation page   In older  pre-HTML5 browsers   quot keyup quot  is definitely what you re looking for  In HTML5 there is a new event   quot input quot   which behaves exactly like you seem to think  quot change quot  should have behaved - in that it fires as soon as a key is pressed to enter information into a form     element   bind  input  function

The jQuery documentation says this  It is also displayed  the handler execution result  if you change the text in the field and then click away  If the field loses focus without the contents having changed  though  the event is not triggered     Try the keyup and keydown events  like this       kat   keydown function        alert  Hello

This works for me on all browsers and Jquery  lt   v1 10      kat   on  keyup   function          alert  Hello          or as it seems you want      kat   on  click   function          alert  Hello          Textbox input field change event fires as you would expect it to  the jQuery  Change event only works correctly on html5 supported browsers

That is working for me  Could be a browser issue as mentioned  or maybe jQuery isn t registered properly  or perhaps the real issue is more complicated  that you made a simpler version to ask this   PS - did have to click out of the text box to make it fire   http   jsfiddle net toddhd Qt7fH
