If you take a look at the "textbox" element you will notice it is not an actual textbox, but a div that allows you to "write" text on it. When I inspected the element I saw it was a "div" and the "id" was "ctl00_SampleContent_txtBox1$HtmlEditorExtenderBehavior_ExtenderContentEditable" (it might be different in your html). So, try and find the "id" of your element and attach these events to it and I am sure it will work (see picture at the end, it worked for me).
Also it'd be better if you add the "javascript" and "jquery" tags to your question so that more people look at it. Good luck!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
