Ticket #5970 (closed bug: fixed)
Change event isn't fired in IE on a text box when starting from a empty field.

Description
If you have an text input field with the .change() method attached. That change event isn't fired in IE if it was previously an empty text field. Once it has a value and then you change that value then it fires.
This appeared in the 1.4.1 version; 1.4.0 worked as expected.
Steps to recreate (with attached test case):
- Load page and make sure input field is empty
- Enter text in input
- Blur off input (notice nothing happens)
- Change text entered in step 1
- Blur off input (notice how event fires)

Thanks for narrowing it down! It seems like this commit would be the culprit:

Give it a try when it comes out and reopen the ticket if not.

@tinyfly: I copied your exact test page and I can verify that it's working in the latest trunk.

I see why I thought it wasn't fixed. If you first focus the field using .focus() when the page loads then perform the steps it still exhibits the same buggy behavior. See new attachment.
