Keep in mind that the onchange event for a text input box is only
fired when the input loses focus. Tying your updatePartyAddress
function to onkeyup instead of onchange is one way to get it to fire
after every letter.
That being said, it should be firing if you type in some letters and
click on the page outside the box - if it's still not firing in that
situation, it's a different problem.
