Javascript event that fires without user interaction?

Question

A textbox on my form may change depending on what\'s selected in various drop down lists.

Is there a way to call a javascript function when the textbox value changes? <

Answer 1

I'd recommend to look over YUI's Custom events for Example: YUI Custom Event Example Link

All you need is to attach this script with Events manipulations

and then you are able to use Custom Events (everywhere in HTML) fnSubscriberChange - inside this Func you could do whatever you want. You could put your textbox change value logic here and depend on the Changed Select box value - call desired func. Logic that depends on Event listening is clear and easy to modify; YUI library supports all browsers so you shouldnt mind about browsers features.

Text box and select boxes:

 
    
     Test1
     Test2
    
    
     Test3
     Test4
    

Script for events:
