jquery keypress() event get text

Question

I want a function to be run when a keypress occurs on a text box, so I have this code:

$(\"input[x]\").keypress(function() {
        DoX();
    })

Answer 1

Use setTimeout without a delay. It will run immediately after keypress event completes so you'll have the correct value of the input.

$("input[x]").keypress(function() {
  setTimeout(DoX);
});
