how can i trigger onChange() when maxlength reached without . . .

[noViagraHere]

I have a simple text input box in a form

<input type="text" name="SRCCODE" size="8" maxlength="6"
onChange="reLoad(this)" value="value">

what i am wanting to do is when someone enters text into this box because it
may be the only info changed on the form, how can i trigger the onchange
function when the user types in the 6th digit of text without having to wait
for the text box to be blurred or tabbed out of?

You must be in a hurry! What happens if you make a typing mistake?

I don't know if this will work, but try it anyway

onkeypress="if (this.value.length==6) reLoad(this)"
