Actually  the ticked answer is exactly right  but the answer can be in ES6 shape   HTMLInputElementObject oninput        gt      console log  run       Do something     Or can be written like below   HTMLInputElementObject addEventListener  input    evt    gt      console log  run       Do something

instead of id use title to identify your element and write the code as below     document  ready     gt        input title  MyObject     change     gt           console log  Field has been changed

Default usage  el addEventListener  input   function          fn          But  if you want to fire event when you change inputs value manualy via JS you should use custom event any name  like  myEvent     ev  etc   IF you need to listen forms  change  or  input  event and you change inputs value via JS - you can name your  custom event  change     input  and it will work too   var event   new Event  input    el addEventListener  input   function         fn        form addEventListener  input   function         anotherFn          el value    something   el dispatchEvent input     https   developer mozilla org en-US docs Web Guide Events Creating and triggering events
