Javascript Events: How to trigger event when ALT+NUM character is entered
<p>I first used the onKeyUp event to detect input changes in a textbox. However, when the user enters in a French character using ALT+Num, the event doesn't detect the change until i enter the next character...</p>

<p>Which event should I be using to detect the special character changes. I've tried onChange but does not seem to be working.</p>

<p>I've tried using onkeypress event because I notice that it triggers it after i release the ALT key, however even though once the ALT is release, the onkeypress is triggered and you see the accented character, but when I use this.value for the inputbox, it only registers up to and before the new ALT+Num character is input.</p>

<p>for example: i entered vidé, but the search would not dynamically find vidé, but only vid because the é has not been saved in the - this.value yet, until another key event is triggered.</p>

<p>Hence I was wondering if there's way to simulate/send a key press to trigger it.</p>
