Hello Ivan, instead of saving your data on changevalue which is normally
invoked on departing the field you could also save the value with every keystroke
with the onkeyevent i believe. you basically save each character one by one.
another option would be to open a new form an let the user enter their data
in there and trigger an on return that will also fire with the close button.
