determine if someone is done entering data in a text field

[jayderk]

I am writing an application that has I/O entering data in a text field. My
question is. does the event "textchanged" fire as soon as the data starts
changing.. for example... if 12345 is being entered in the text field, does
the event fire as soon as 1 is entered? if so, is there a way to know when
12345 has been entered.. maybe textChanged has not fired for 1/2 second.

later,
Jay

have you tried showing debug messages on the textChanged event before
asking this?
yes. it happens each time the *text changes*. That's whay it's called
TextChanged.

Also you should set AutoPostBack="true" in your TextBox
asp tag.
