I need to track changes on an input element but this should be done whenever anything change its value, not only users typing.
The keyup event is not what i need as already specified and the change event only works when the input loses focus.
Any ideas of how can i do this?

- Yes, via javascript code and user input ( keypress and browser autoplete ). – Fernando Commented Jan 16, 2011 at 19:20

Reset to default 6In non-IE browsers, you can handle the input event.
In IE, you can handle the propertychange event.
Demo (works in all browsers)
Can you not just bind handlers for the "change", "paste", and "cut" events, as well as "keypress" or "keyup"?
