Description

When I bind the change event to text inputs in this manner:

$("input").each(function() {

$(this).bind("change", function() {

alert("changed!!");

});

Then in IE8 the change event is triggered and the alert box is shown when you click with the mouse some of the boxes.

When I bind the change event like this:

$("input").bind("change", function() {

alert("changed!!");

}

});

the event is not triggered when clicking in the boxes.

In version 1.3.2 the change event is not triggered.

I've tested this bug using jquery 1.4.1.The situation has changed. Initially the alert is not shown. which is correct. But when I click in for example text box 2, delete the last character, and set focus to for example text box 1, no alert is given. JQuery should display "Changed!!"

When I set focus again to inputbox 2, and again delete a character and move the focus to another inputbox, then the alert is displayed!

So it seems that the first change to the inputbox is not caught.

I too am experiencing this behavior in IE8 and jQuery 1.4.1. I am hooking the change event to all textboxes on a page, but the change event is first fired when any textbox receives it's second change.
