I have a textbox, and whenever the value of the box changes, I want to check and see if 20 digits have been entered.
I thought that I would use the onChange event, but this seems to be interpreted as the onBlur event on IE.
So then I thought I would use onKeyDown, but the problem comes in if the user wants to paste a value into the field, then the function never gets called.
There are no other form boxes so I can't rely on onBlur or expect that they will change focus ever.
How do I do this?
I just want to evaluate the value of the textbox everytime the value of the textbox changes.
<input type="text" onKeyDown="myfunction()">
