Is it possible to save a textarea contents on MySQL using AJAX while typing?

[Angry Coder]

Hello,

I am wondering if it's possible to save a textarea contents on MySQL using AJAX while the user is typing?

If so, how?

Your help would be greatly apprecaited.

Probably, though I'd ask the question "Why?". Seems like a bit of overhead with all those AJAX calls making all those DB calls...

To save some notes on one person password protected area, so I don't think there will be any overhead.

attach a keydown event to the object (there's some attachEventListener code floating around someplace on sitepoint) and have it send its own .value through an XHTTPRequest call.

That should suffice.
