Change eventBaseline · Widely available
The change event for <input>, <select>, and <textarea> elements fires when the user modifies the element's value. Unlike the input event, the change event does not necessarily fire on every alteration to an element's value.
Supported in all major browsers for at least 30 months — safe to use without fallbacks. Baseline since Jul 29, 2015. Widely available since Jan 29, 2018.
