<apex:inputText list="{!listOfStringElements}" id="userInput" onChange="alert(this.value);"></apex:inputText>

In the above code when I select any value from the listOfStringElements I want to call a javascript function. Onchange on the above code works when after selecting the value I click anywhere on the screen but I want to call it as soon as i select any value from the list.

    See e.g. stackoverflow.com/questions/574941/… if it's a text field as it appears to be from the markup.

  • it should work on change event. I can't see your code for Onchange.

  • @Ricky onchange works when I select the value from the list and then click anywhere else on the page but I want the value in javascript function as soon as I select the value from the list.

Try Using 'html-oninput' instead on 'onChange'

Your code edited: 

<apex:inputText list="{!listOfStringElements}" id="userInput" html-oninput="alert(this.value);"></apex:inputText>

I hope this helps :)

  • OnKeypress works when I enter the value using the keyboard but I want the alert when I click on any of the value from the dropdown list.
