IE change event does not fire on text input after setting value - works in jQuery 1.3.2, fails in 1.4.0

[Guiswa]

Steps to reproduce using the attached test page:

1.Type "abc" in the first text input element.

2.Hit tab or click elsewhere on the page to trigger the change event - you should see an alert.

3.Click the button to set the value of the first text element to "".

4.Type "abc" in the first text input element again.

5.Hit tab or click elsewhere on the page to trigger the change event again.

Expected:

The alert appears for a second time.

Actual:

The alert does not appear.

Notes:

This only occurs in Internet Explorer 6-8 using jQuery 1.4.0. Previous versions of jQuery do not exhibit this behavior.

JSbin was giving me errors earlier, so here's an alternate link for the above test page:

This looks to have been fixed in 1.4.1. Tested it here:

I can't verify the 1.4.1 claim but it does appear to be fixed in the nightlies.

This does not work with at least IE8 ​http://jsbin.com/ovipi/2

In my current project i have input field with change event binded, and it won't trigger it if i click mouse anywhere in document, but only when i press tab.

When it has fired once, it then works by clicking anywhere in a document as it should.

As mentioned before, this was fixed in 1.4.2.

In IE 8 in jquery 1.4.2 it is not working not solved.

What is the status on this bug? Is there any known workaround to make it work, and have the change event fired after leaving the input box. For the record I can at - that changing the value will make it fire. e.g

Page loaded: TextInput Value = [Empty]

Editing field: Text Value = ABC - leaving the textbox * no event fired

Editing the field again: Text Value = ABCD - leaving the textbox * event firked!

​Live test case Works in jQuery 1.4.2. Upgrade!

[kemosite]

Seems to be broken again in jQuery 1.4.4

[snover]

Nope, test case works in 1.4.4 too.

Broken again I believe, the click or change events are not firing in IE8 on the second file input selection.

Using jquery-1.5.1.min.js

Replying to kadlecmark@…:

Broken again I believe, the click or change events are not firing in IE8 on the second file input selection.
