problem fetching value of <input type="text"...

Got a problem here, hope someone can help.
I want to fetch edit box's (<input type="text"...) value string upon
change. What I do is I attach handler to the onkeypress event. I have
two issues with this:

1. When the onkeypress handler executes I do not get the latest char
that was pressed (if the 't' char for "cat" was pressed I'll only get
"ca"), this is true for both IE & Firefox. Is there any solution to
this ? I need a solution that will work both on IE & Firefox.

2. Is there a more through event I should attach to ? because using
only the onkeypress I miss copy-paste operations.

Thanks,

.
