jQuery change()

0 1466

In jQuery, the change() function is used to triggers the change event, or bind a function to run when a change event occurs.
The change event in jQuery occurs when the value of an element has changed.
The change event is only compatible with <input> elements, <textarea> boxes and <select> elements.
In the case of a checkbox, select input, and radio buttons, the change event occurs when an option is selected.
But in the case of text fields and text area, the change event occurs when the field value has changed or the field becomes blur.

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("strong").css("color","green");
  $(".name").change(function(){
   $val=$(this).val();
   $("strong").html( $val);
  });

});
</script>
 </head>
 <body>
