GlobalEventHandlers.oninput

An event handler for the input event on the window. The input event is raised when an <input> element value changes.

This event bubbles. If supported on the window, it is supported on <input> elements as well.

Example

<script>

window.addEventListener('input', function (e) {
 console.log("keyup event detected! coming from this element:", e.target);
}, false);

</script>

<input placeholder="type here and see console.">
