Synopsis
<textarea onchange="handler" ... >... </textarea>textarea.onchange
Description
The onchange property of a Textarea element refers
to an event handler function that is invoked when the user changes
the value in the text area and then "commits" those
changes by moving keyboard focus elsewhere.
Note that the onchange event handler is
not invoked when the value
property of a Text object is set by JavaScript. Also note that this
handler is intended to process a complete change to the input value,
and therefore it is not invoked on a keystroke-by-keystroke basis.
See the HTMLElement.onkeypress reference page for
information on receiving notification of every key press event.
See Input.onchange for complete details about the
onchange event handler.
