selenium - Textbox events?

Question

I am using Kantu to automate filling out some forms. There is a textbox that when a persons id number is entered and you click into another box or tab out of the textbox it will load that persons vcard. I can try to expound if you need more clarity.

I don't know much but i'm guessing me clicking into another box is activiating some kind of event to load this vcard. I can't seem to simulate this. Does anyone know of a way to do so?

Welcome to SO. There are different option to get the associated events.

Let's take the stackoverflow search box (the one which is on the top with s-input js-search-field class)

1) Using getEventListeners

Go to chrome console in the dev tools and then use getEventListeners(element).

getEventListeners(document.querySelector('.s-input.js-search-field '))

2) Using Dev Tools Event Listner

Go to chrome dev tools and select the element for which you want to know the events, click on the Event Listeners tab on the right hand side pane.

3) Using the firefox event

Goto dev tools in firefox and click on events bubble at the end of html element tag.
