Help - this is probably simple but...

Hi.

Can anyone point me in the direction of being able to create the script that allows the user to input text into an text box and it appears as you type on another part of the page.

An exact example of this can be found here:

There are probably great tutorials on this or sample code but I don't know what to search for it by.

Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all

<script>
function change()
{
   outText.innerHTML = inText.value;
}
</script>
<input type=text id=inputText onKeyUp="change();"/>
<div id=outputText></div>
<script>
//initalize variables, must be after elements loaded
var outText = document.getElementById('outputText');
var inText = document.getElementById('inputText');
</script>

tuda!

everytime the key goes up, the function change is called
which changes the values of the outputText, so it will be displayed there.
