Detecting autocomplete on form input with jQuery

rated 0 times [ 67] [ 3] / answers: 1 / hits: 49171 / 14 Years ago, thu, july 22, 2010, 12:00:00

I have a form that detects if all the text-fields are valid on each keyup() and focus(); if they're all valid, it will enable the submit button for the user to press. However, if the user fills in one of the text inputs with a browsers autocomplete feature, it prevents the submit button from being enabled.

Is there a way to detect if any of the input has changed regardless of how it's been changed, using jQuery?

The jQuery change event will only fire on blur. The keyup event will fire as you type. Neither fire on clicking an auto-completion option. I am also searching for a way to detect this, but I'm currently going with

$(selector).bind(change keyup,function(){

    //Do something, probably with $(this).val()

});

But it doesn't quite solve the problem...
