IE8: Change Not Fired When Value Changed In Keyup Handler

[anonymous]

The change handler is not invoked on IE8 when the inputs value is changed in they keyup handler.

See the following test case:  http://jsfiddle.net/euccT/

Explicitly setting a value cancels the change event. This is probably just other browsers ignoring the fact that you're setting the value since you're not changing the value. I didn't test, but I bet the equivalent code without jQuery would give the same results. jQuery probably shouldn't normalize this.

Yes, it happens with bare DOM events as well.  http://jsfiddle.net/euccT/1/

I'm not even sure this is broken, but in any event it we cannot easily fix it.

The hope was that this could be normalized across browser since the behavior is different in IE8 vs. Firefox, Chrome, etc. Thanks for your input. Appreciate you considering the issue.
