Detecting onChange event in eWebEditPro VFE?

We are using Ektron eWebEditPro 4.2, and I have placed a VFE on a HTML page outside of TeamSite. I am trying to detect when the VFE value changes using the equivalent of an onChange() event. The developer's reference guide states the following:

----------------

eWebEditPro.isChanged()

This method enables eWebEditPro to emulate the onchange event common to standard HTML input elements and the TEXTAREA field. You can combine the onblur event with the isChanged() method to determine when focus has left the editor and content has been modified.

----------------

Does anyone know how to accomplish this? I've tried the following, but it does not detect an onblur event no matter where I click on the screen.

eWebEditPro.onblur = function()
{
alert(eWebEditPro.isChanged());
}
eWebEditPro.create("bodyContent", "346", "225");

This is not a TS question...........

what are you doing? what are you trying to accomplish with the below code -

eWebEditPro.onblur = function()
{
alert(eWebEditPro.isChanged());
}
eWebEditPro.create("bodyContent", "346", "225");

I thought this category included VisualFormat questions...

Anyway, I'm trying to update another field on the form when the VFE content changes or loses focus. I was hoping to use the onblur event handler, and then check the isChanged() method. If "true" is returned, then I would update the other form field. That part is pretty much irrelevant - the thing I'm concerned with is the fact that the onblur event doesn't fire when I expect it to.

i tried that in different editor but i had similar problem. here is what u can do though:

create a radio button and register an event when it changes. when the user clicks on the radio button call another function which takes the value of the textarea field and the once u have the value you can do what ever u want with it such as changing it or put it in another field. comperhende !!!!

make sure u prompt the user before playing with the data..

Thanks. I was starting to think I was going to have to prompt the user for some type of other action (such as clicking a radio or a button) instead of depending on the onblur event.
