Change Text Entry Variable without control losing focus?

You are correct about the double quotes around searchentry in player.SetVar. I edited my post to reflect that.

I was building on Gavin’s excellent work and don’t pretend to understand how his code works. I am certainly not a JavaScript expert. There is probably a more elegant solution. I am creating a software simulation and simply wanted to capture the first few letters of the entry in real-time to trigger a state change from the search page to search results.  For my needs, it doesn’t actually need to work.

Perhaps Gavin or one of the many other JavaScript experts could help you do what you want. I agree - a custom search feature would be super cool! Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
