Answer 4

if you need to check this on separate event and can't use onchange event, you can compare objects defaultValue and value

Answer 5

You can use the onchange event to track if the contents have been changed. It is also possible to compare current input[type=text].value to input[type=text].defaultValue. defaultValue will have the original value supplied in the value-attribute.
