jQuery's change() event doesn't work as expected with input text fields. This, however, does work.

For some reason, the change() event only fires when the input field loses focus. | |
Binding to other options ('change keypress paste focus textInput input') will | |
fire the event several times, which is bad. The below code works even when | |
content is pasted into the text field, and only fires once as expected. | |

$('#search-form .term').bind('input', function(){ | |
console.log('this actually works'); | |
}); | |
/* | |
HTML example: | |
<form id="search-form"> | |
<input type="text" class="term" name="Search" value="Search" autocomplete="off" /> | |
<input type="submit" name="Search" value="Search" /> | |
</form> | |

I'm trying it to use with a DB of users, but it take so long to respond and show the result. Any idea please!!!!
@jpausa First, test your request with your database and see the time used by that request to execute. Then try to simplify as mush as possible your request, select only the field that are required. I am getting good response time with my code.
thanks for this!
Thank you.

it works as...
$('#xyz').bind('input', function () {
alert('Changed!');
});
// -- where "xyz" is the text box id

Tried all versions I found in this thread, but for +/- buttons, but ...
$('.theclass').change('input', function(){
console.log('this actually fails');
});
... only works when changing the value by typing. But changing by clicking +/- buttons does nothing. Maybe a conflict with another function that is called when the value changes?
