Ember.js textField change event

Question

I just start to learn ember.js Why this code http://jsfiddle.net/alexchetv/RVNzP/ don't work properly -- App.MyTextField.change() execution is triggered only after MyTextField loses focus? Alternative code with the same functionality works as expected.

Answer 1

Keep in mind that handlers on your Ember.Views (change, select, click, etc) are bound to normal HTML DOM events. "onchange" only gets called on an input field when the field loses focus and has changed, not any time the value is modified. You should observe 'value' if you want to be notified of changes to the displayed value.
