  • Ticket #9121 – Description

    v12 v14  
    33A while ago, I wrote a plugin that normalizes the event for browsers that don't support it, notably IE6-8.  I believe this works well enough, despite a few limitations.  Despite the existence of this event (and the plugin), every day I see people recommending the use of `onkeyup` for acting on user input.  Integrating this event into jQuery may help these users learn to handle user input more appropriately.

    5 The following fiddle demonstrates the event (and the plugin) very basically:  http://jsfiddle.net/B459a/.  All it does is copies the text as you type, but as you can tell, there is no visual delay.
