oninput Event

❮ DOM Events ❮ InputEvent

Example

Execute a JavaScript when a user writes something in an <input> field:

<input type="text" oninput="myFunction()">
Try it Yourself »

More "Try it Yourself" examples below.


Definition and Usage

The oninput event occurs when an element gets user input.

This event occurs when the value of an <input> or <textarea> element is changed.

Tip: This event is similar to the onchange event. The difference is that the oninput event occurs immediately after the value of an element has changed, while onchange occurs when the element loses focus, after the content has been changed. The other difference is that the onchange event also works on <select> elements.


Browser Support

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the event.
