Hi

 What i want to do is while typing in the editor i want same info to be typed in to a regular txt box.

I have this code:

 function  WebHtmlEditor1_KeyPress(oEditor, keyCode, oEvent){
   
    document.getElementById('txtDebug').value = oEditor.getText();
}

it works ok, but the first letter typed does not display in the text box, then when you type the next letter the first letter will appear in the text box

so it will look like this

WebHTMLEditor : Hello

Textbox:              Hell

how can i make sure all the letters make it to the text box? 

The KeyPress event is happening as you press each key.  At that point, the text of the WebHtmlEditor is the text before the key press is processed, not after.

In your example, when you press "H", the WebHtmlEditor's value is blank.  When you press "e", the editor's value is "H".  At the first "l', the editor's value is "He", and so on.

You might be able to use window.setTimeout() to delay copying from the WebHtmlEditor to the text box for a few milliseconds - enough for the key press to complete being processed.  I don't have an example that I can put together at the moment, but I'm hopeful this will lead you in the right direction.
