Unfortunately, as you've discovered, the "change" usually event only
fires when a field loses focus. I suggest, to catch changes as quickly
as possible, you do something like the following:
function doSomethingOnChange() {
// do something
};
$(':text').bind('keyup change paste cut', doSomethingOnChange);
I have no idea if the "paste" and "cut" events will work, I know IE
supports them.
