How to simulate keypress to a textbox in Firefox or Chrome?

Question

There are many similar topics in stackoverflow about this question, but it does not work for me.

I tried with Google Drive API tutorial at:

Now, I want to autotyping in textbox "Editor 1" and the textbox "Editor 2" will update.

I tried with:

document.getElementById("editor1").value = "ABC";

then the text changed, but the event does not recognized by Google Drive API, and the text of "Editor 2" does not change.

Any suggestion is welcome.

Thank you very much

try jquery event i.e:

$("#editor1").keypress(function(){
    $("#editor2").val($(this).val());    // now you get the value of editor 1 in editor2
});

Not what's being asked. OP asks to simulate the keypress, not to listen for it. – This company is turning evil. Oct 29 '14 at 13:43

Try using this :

HTML:

Input 1: <input type="text" id="input1" onkeydown="myFunction()"/>
Input 2: <input type="text" id="input2"/>

JS:

function myFunction()
{
var x = document.getElementById("input1");
var y = document.getElementById("input2");
y.value=x.value;
}

There's no need to use jquery here. – cнŝdk Oct 29 '14 at 13:43
Thank you for all of your answers, but i am afraid that I described wrong. I want Google Drive API recognized the value change of the textbox, the Google Drive will update the value of the other textbox (not by using HTML or Javascript code). Tks so much – mommomonthewind Oct 29 '14 at 14:47
window.setInterval (function () { elm = document.getElementById ("editor1"); elm.value = "avcddd"; e = $.Event ('keyup'); e.keyCode = 65; elm.trigger (e); }, 5000); – mommomonthewind Oct 29 '14 at 14:55
or you can see my code at: http://pastebin.com/cE0GcZ6J – mommomonthewind Oct 29 '14 at 14:56
and it does not work (the value changed, but the event keyup does not recognized) – mommomonthewind Oct 29 '14 at 14:56
