Answer 1

Here an javascript example:

document.getElementById('test').onkeyup = function(oEvent) {
    if (typeof oEvent == 'undefined') oEvent = window.event;          // IE<9 fix
    if (oEvent.keyCode != 32) return;       // stop if character is not the space
    if (/@USERNAME /.test(this.value)) {      // check if @-template is available
        this.value = this.value.replace(/@USERNAME /g, 'Dirk ');    // replace it
    }
}

=== UPDATE ===

Here an jQuery alternative:

$('#test').keyup(function(oEvent) {                  // set (keyup) event handler
    if (oEvent.keyCode != 32) return;       // stop if character is not the space
    if (/@USERNAME /.test($(this).val())) {   // check if @-template is available
        $(this).val($(this).val().replace(/@USERNAME /g, 'Dirk ')); // replace it
    }
});

也许您可以在按下空格键时尝试onkeypress事件。
