jQuery dynamically generated textbox change event

Question

How to bind change event to dynamically generated textbox?

$("#searchtext").change(function()
{
    alert( "Handler for .change() called." );
});

$("#textbox1").live('change', function(){
    value = $("#textbox1").val();
    alert(value);
});

Both of the above functions are not working for me. Any suggestions?

.live() is deprecated since version 1.7, what is your jQuery version ? — phron

You can use on() instead of live() since live() is deprecated since version 1.7:

$(document).on('keyup','#textbox1', function() {
    value = $("#textbox1").val();   
    alert(value);
});
