#10132 closed bug (fixed)

.val(...) in change handler invokes change handler in IE

Reported by: [email protected] Owned by: dmethvin
Priority: low Milestone: None
Component: event Version: 1.6.2

Description

When you have a function bound the the change event of an input field, and the function changes the input field's value using .val(...), the change event handler gets invoked twice (once from the real change, and once from calling .val(...)). This happens in IE8 and IE9, but not in FireFox 6 or Chrome.

The expected output from the code below is that "change" will be logged once, however it actually gets logged twice in IE.

<!doctype html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>x</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<input type="text" id="inputField" />
		<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
		<script>
			$("#inputField").change(function() {
				console.log("change"); 
				$(this).val("newval");
			});
		</script>
	</body>
</html>

Confirmed, but I'm not sure we can fix this. Changing the value with javascript triggers a change in IE, but not in other browsers.

Since it's using the special event interface there may be a solution; I'll mark it open and look at it soon.

This is fixed by the new IE change detection logic in 1.7.
