You are right that I was missing the # sign in front. Thank you!
But now the code works but not exactly as I wanted. The Alert() is called only when I click somewhere outside the textbox. I thought that the Alert() should click just as I start typing.
>In the jQuery code, replace txtMyTextbox with #ClientID

>>Actually in my code it is different syntax that uses the "ClientID" syntax. But UT would not let me type it. Here is how I name the control in my script, but where you see a dollar sign it is actually a percent sign.
