Detect changed input text box
I've looked at numerous other questions and found very simple answers, including the code below. I simply want to detect when someone changes the content of a text box but for some reason it's not working... I get no console errors. When I set a breakpoint in the browser at the change() function it never hits it.
$('#inputDatabaseName').change(function () {
alert('test');
});
<input id="inputDatabaseName">

You can use the input Javascript event in jQuery like this:
$('#inputDatabaseName').on('input',function(e){
alert('Changed!')
});
In pure JavaScript:
document.querySelector("input").addEventListener("change",function () {
alert("Input Changed");
})
Or like this:
<input id="inputDatabaseName" onchange="youFunction();"
onkeyup="this.onchange();" onpaste="this.onchange();" oninput="this.onchange();"/>
