jQuery change input value on keyup

Check if input value was changed on keyup immediately (with jquery):

jQuery(function($){
    $('form input').change(function() { // works when input will be blured and the value was changed
        //alert('input value changed');
        $('.log').append(' change');
    });
    $('form input').keyup(function() { // works immediately when user press button inside of the input
        $(this).change(); // simulate "change" event
    });
});
<form>
    <input type="text" placeholder="type here to test events...">
    <div class="log">log of change and keyup events. </div>
</form>

    • Yes, you're right, code triggers only for keyup actions.
      You may re-write your code by remembering prev string in text input and comparing it with current.
      If these strings are different, you may trigger your custom action.
