How can I get jquery .val() AFTER keypress event?

instead of keypress, use keyup.

Surprised that no one mentioned the js "input" event:

$(someTextInputField).on('input', function() {
  alert($(this).val());
});

Recommended.

Change keypress to keyup:

$(someTextInputField).on("keyup", function() {
  alert($(this).val());
});

keypress is fired when the key is pressed down, keyup is fired when the key is released.
