Javascript: Do processing when user has stopped typing
- by Midhat
I have a text box on a web page, whose value I want to send to a XMLHttpRequest. Now I want the user to just type the value, without pressing a button. But If i just send the request int he keyboard events, it will fire every time a key is pressed.
So basically I want something liek this
function KeyUpEvent()
{
if (user is still typing) return;
else do processing
}
It would be great if the solution could come from plain javascript or mootools. I dont want to use any other library.
