grab user inputted text from input

I have an <input Id="inputTest"> and I have tried grabbing the value, $('#inputTest').val(); but the problem is when a user types text it does not hold it in the value until the form is submitted.

How can I capture what the user types in before submitting the form?

You can us keyup() to get the value as it is entered - 

$('input[name="foo"]').keyup(function() {
    $('#foo_result').html( $(this).val() );
});
