Is it possible to clone the value from
<textarea id="text"></textarea>
and
<input id="name" type="input" />
as pure text into a div or paragraph tag immediately?
Example: if "123" is typed in it will clone "123" into the div with no delay.
Yes, use the keydown event and a short 10 ms delay (or possibly less, anything less than 30 is not noticeable by the user).
$("#text").on("keydown",function(){
setTimeout(
// proxy callback to `this` rather than `window`
$.proxy(function(){
$("#target").text(this.value);
},this)
,10);
});

Edit: If you don't like or understand $.proxy
, it could also be written as:
$("#text").on("keydown",function(){
var that = this;
setTimeout(function(){
$("#target").text(that.value);
},10);
});
