Something cool? check this jsfiddle this will change color depends on value on whatever you want

 $('.getvalueofinput').keydown(function() { var value1, value2; value1 = $('.getvalueofinput').val(); value2 = $('.equalvalue').text(); if (value1 == value2) { alert('equal'); $('.getvalueofinput').css('background-color', 'brown').css('color','white'); } }); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <input type=text class="getvalueofinput"> <span class='equalvalue' value='write me'>write me</span>
