Jquery textarea get last value

Question

I use my program <textarea> And every time a user enters a new value, it always gives me the first value. But I always want the last amount this is my code:

<textarea id='txtBackStatus' rows='5' cols='34' onClick = "Message()">

<script>
function Message(){
var result= $('#txtBackStatus').val();
 }
</script>

Answer 1

You need to use an 'onChange' function instead of 'onClick'

Delete the 'onClick' attribute and then try this below

<script type="text/javascript">
$("#txtBackStatus").on('change', function() {
   var result = $('#txtBackStatus').val();
   console.log(result);
});
</script>

Answer 2

You need the .change() method to get the latest value

$( "#txtBackStatus" ).change(function() {
  var result = $('#txtBackStatus').val();
});

Please also note that this event is limited to <input> elements, <textarea> boxes and <select> elements.
