Browsers autofill feature dosen't fire .change event

[[email protected]…]

If you use the browsers autofill feature to fill a form field, the change event dosen't seem to fire. There has to be a keydown on the field first. Not sure if this is a bug, similar to this: ​http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/6109 - So sorry if this is a known issue.

Thank you for submitting a ticket to the jQuery Bug Tracker!

Looking through the Stack Overflow post you shared, it would appear that a solution to the problem you're looking for is available in one of the comments on that thread (see the code from FurryBrains.com).

That aside, if you can provide us with a reduced test case where you've tried to solve this issue on ​jsFiddle.net we'll investigate the issue further and get back to you shortly.

Thanks!

AFAIK, browsers do not fire any events when they autofill forms.
