Trigger alert on form completion rather than submission.
What I'm trying to do:
So I'm using a Google API to show a list of addresses in a dropdown when you start typing an address.
Once all the inputs fields on the page are filled in I want to trigger: alert('hi')
Important info:
The Google API generates address like so:
<div class="pac-item"><span class="pac-icon pac-icon-marker"></span><span class="pac-item-query"><span class="pac-matched">S</span>ão Paulo</span><span>State of São Paulo, Brazil</span></div>
<div class="pac-item"><span class="pac-icon pac-icon-marker"></span><span class="pac-item-query"><span class="pac-matched">S</span>an Francisco</span><span>CA, USA</span></div>
<div class="pac-item"><span class="pac-icon pac-icon-marker"></span><span class="pac-item-query"><span class="pac-matched">S</span>ão Paulo</span><span>State of São Paulo, Brazil</span></div>
<div class="pac-item"><span class="pac-icon pac-icon-marker"></span><span class="pac-item-query"><span class="pac-matched">S</span>an Francisco</span><span>CA, USA</span></div>
after the user starts typing an address so it gets generated after the DOM has loaded.
What I have done & the the problem I'm facing:
So far I've got a function that checks the inputs to see if they are empty but how do I get it to execute after all the input fields have been filled in?
Here is the codepen and the code is also below:

alert("Hello World");

For obvious reasons the API key will be destroyed after I found a fix.
Thanks for any help.
