how to do onevent

[clowns119]

Hi all
I have a web form and the text in it is being pulled in from another web page using xmlhttpd I want to make an alert box pop up whenever teh text changes. Is this possible? I tried calling onchange from the <form> but it did not work. I think I need to loop through the form maybe but I am not sure how, any ideas?

Thanks
Justin

Hello clowsn119!

I'm sure there are better ways to do this and someone else might help with an event, but here is how you can use a timer function and verify the text at each interval...

intInterval = 100 '1000 = 1 second
intTimer = window.SetInterval("subTimer()", intInterval)

Sub subTimer()
    'Do your text checking here
End Sub

Good luck!
