Hors d'Oeuvres:
Typewriter: Echo Text
Type in the top line. It will be echoed into the bottom line
without any direct commands. Type slowly. Sometimes your
characters will get lost between blur and focus phases.
Discussion
This recipe shows how to create "real time" feedback
of user input. In this case, a loop scans for changes
in the typed text in the top line.
JavaScript is not yet well suited to such a task, as
can be seen by the "jerky" feedback.
