      <input type="text" onchange ="changeHandler(event)"/>

      <textarea onchange ="changeHandler(event)" rows="3" cols="30"></textarea>

      <p class="title">Select:</p>
      <select onchange ="changeHandler(event)">
         <option value ="en">English</option>
         <option value ="de">German</option>

   <head>
      <title>ChangeEvent Example</title>
      <meta charset="UTF-8">

      <script>
          function changeHandler(evt)  {
            alert("Language: " + evt.target.value);
          }
      </script>

   </head>
   <body>

      <h2>ChangeEvent example</h2>

      <p class="title">Select Language:</p>
      <select onchange ="changeHandler(event)">
         <option value ="en">English</option>
         <option value ="de">German</option>
         <option value ="vi">Vietnamese</option>
      </select>


   </body>
</html>

Event: change vs input

You may consider using the input event because it's quite similar to the change event:

The input event occurs immediately after the value of an element changes, without requiring the element to lose focus.
The input event supports elements with the contenteditable="true" attibutes. While change event supports only the <input>, <texarea>, <select> element.
