Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes.

The TextEvent interface is a legacy UI event interface for reporting changes to text UI elements.

Note: TextEvent events have been superseded by events such as input, beforeinput, keypress, keyup, and keydown.

Event UIEvent TextEvent Instance properties

This interface also inherits properties from its parent UIEvent, and indirectly from Event.

Indicates the data associated with the event.

Instance methods
TextEvent.initTextEvent() Deprecated

Populates the values of this (new) TextEvent with the given parameters.

Events list

The following is a list of all TextEvent events:

Examples Listen for text input events

You can register a listener for text input events using EventTarget.addEventListener() as follows:

element.addEventListener(
  "textInput",
  (event) => {
    // …
  },
  false,
);
Simple logger showing input events

This example listens for a number of events that are fired on an input, including textInput. The event type and the event data are logged, allowing you to see where textInput is emitted relative to the other events such as those generated by key presses.

HTML
<input placeholder="Enter some text" name="name" />
#log {
  height: 140px;
  overflow: scroll;
  padding: 0.5rem;
  border: 1px solid black;
}
JavaScript
const logElement = document.querySelector("#log");
function log(text) {
  logElement.innerText = `${logElement.innerText}${text}\n`;
  logElement.scrollTop = logElement.scrollHeight;
}
const input = document.querySelector("input");

input.addEventListener("keypress", updateValue);
input.addEventListener("keyup", updateValue);
input.addEventListener("keydown", updateValue);
input.addEventListener("input", updateValue);
input.addEventListener("beforeinput", updateValue);
input.addEventListener("textInput", updateValue);

function updateValue(e) {
  log(`${e.type}: ${e.data}`);
}
