Title Body

Is there a cross-browser way to detect live changes to an input field ? By live , I mean not when the field loses focus, and not on the next keypress, and so on. Immediately or something like it. Using combinations of jQuery and .change() , .keyup() , .bind('paste') and so on I can get working live change detection in some browsers, but not all . Using different combinations will make it work somewhat in other browsers. The trickiest thing to get working is mouse manipulation of the input field - selecting text and moving it (which is essentially cut and paste), right-clicking and pasting or cutting, etc. For some reason even .mousedown() and .mouseup() don't seem to cut it. The only cross-browser solution I can think of right now is to check the input field value every 100-or-so milliseconds and compare the value against a stored value. But this seems like overkill when the event-based solution comes so close. Is there a jQuery plug-in that does this already? Or is there some other way to achieve this?
