<head>
<title>Sample</title>
<link href="style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function(){
        $('#input1').change(function(){
            if ($(this).val() == 'hello'){
                alert('you typed hello !');
            }
