I have the following function:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(\"#dSuggest\").keypress(function() {
var dInput = $(\'input:text[name=dSuggest]\'
You have to interrupt the execution thread to allow the input to update.
$(document).ready(function(event) {
$("#dSuggest").keypress(function() {
//Interrupt the execution thread to allow input to update
setTimeout(function() {
var dInput = $('input:text[name=dSuggest]').val();
console.log(dInput);
$(".dDimension:contains('" + dInput + "')").css("display","block");
}, 0);
});
});
Use .keyup
instead of keypress.
Also use $(this).val()
or just this.value
to access the current input value.

Info about .keypress
from jQuery docs,
The keypress event is sent to an element when the browser registers keyboard input. This is similar to the keydown event, except in the case of key repeats. If the user presses and holds a key, a keydown event is triggered once, but separate keypress events are triggered for each inserted character. In addition, modifier keys (such as Shift) trigger keydown events but not keypress events.
Realizing that this is a rather old post, I'll provide an answer anyway as I was struggling with the same problem.
You should use the "input"
event instead, and register with the .on
method. This is fast - without the lag of keyup
and solves the missing latest keypress problem you describe.
$('#dSuggest').on("input", function() {
var dInput = this.value;
console.log(dInput);
$(".dDimension:contains('" + dInput + "')").css("display","block");
});

I think what you need is the below prototype
$(element).on('input',function(){code})
I was looking for a ES6 example (so it could pass my linter) So for other people who are looking for the same:
$('#dSuggest').keyup((e) => {
console.log(e.currentTarget.value);
});
I would also use keyup because you get the current value that is filled in.
jQuery get input value after keypress

i = 0;
$(document).ready(function(){
$("input").keypress(function(){
$("span").text (i += 1);
});
});
