Intercepting onchange()

I'm using a widget/control (a date picker), which I don't really have any
control over, that is programmaticall y updating a text field. I'm curious
if there is any way I can determine when the value of the text field is
changed? I've tried setting the onchange for the field in the markup but
because the value is being set programmaticall y, that event never triggers.

Apart from setting up an interval, is there any other way to determine when
a value of a field changes if it's not the user setting the value?

thnx,
Christoph

Why do you think so?

I don't think so. I would use a self-setting timeout, though.

In JavaScripts checks for an onChange event against the value of the textbox at the time of the last onChange event. Since an onChange Event never fired after you changed the text first time , suppose we put the same value in the text box then no event is fired. If we put some other value then it became fired... It wouldn't fire if we put the same value... I don't want to use onBlur etc... Isthere any solution with onChange Event...?

Hi all I have a script where I dynamically create multiple inputs and selects from a script. The inputs and selects must have an associated onchange handler. I have the script working fine on Firefox, Safari and Konqueror, but the onchange event just doesn't fire on IE6. Firefox's javascript console shows no errors, and the IE script debugger shows nothing. onchange is not triggered.

Hi there I'm adding form fields on the fly with some javascript DOM programming. I basically just clone a hidden <div>, then adjust node properties to make this new <div> have unique values (style, size, etc.) the original code of the input tag is: <input type="file" onchange="alert('original')" size="30" id="filea" name="filea">

I am drawing lines with a semi-transparent color (alpha=100). When these lines intercept, the color becomes more intense. Is there a way to avoid this, so that I would get the same intensity of color? Thanks a lot.

Hello. I"m new to this group, and to JavaScript in general, so please forgive me if I breach local etiquette. I'm trying to implement some client-side 'dynamic' validation on a form. I'm having a couple of problems, which I'll try to describe. But this e-mail will only reproduce one of them, in a "short" example. What I'm generally doing is having each form entry contained in a div, which as a label, an input with some event handlers,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
