If you want to fire an event other than textchanged when the text is changed in the textbox , then do like this
<asp:textbox runat="server" id="tb1" xmlns:asp="#unknown"></asp:textbox>
Add onblur event to the textbox in code behind like this
tb1.Attributes.Add("onblur", "javascript:tbFn(this);");
function tbFn(tb) {
var text = tb.value;
}
where the variable text contains the entered value.
If you want to compare with its previous values, store it in some session and compare the values.
Hope this helps...
