The change events for these fire when they lose focus normally (e.g. click outside), if you want the handler to execute as you type, I recommend using the .keyup() event instead (so you get the right value, keydown would be the value without the current key taken into account).

Like this:

$('#filedset').find('select, input, textarea').bind('change keyup', function() {
   alert($(this).val());
});

Or if you have lots of and/or dynamic elements, you can use .delegate(), like this:

$('#filedset').delegate('select, input, textarea','change keyup', function() {
   alert($(this).val());
});
