Custom jQuery Events¶

Form Interaction Event¶

An interaction event (interact) can be thought of as an improved change event. When bound on a form or a form element, it fires whenever the user makes changes to the form. This includes (un)checking checkboxes, changing dropdown menus, and manipulating text in a text input or textarea.

Unlike normal change events, it fires instantly on text inputs and does not require the user to change focus.

$('form').bind('interact', function() {
    // I see typing!
});
