jQuery input event

Question

I've never heard of an event in jQuery called input till I saw this jsfiddle.

Do you know why it's working? Is it an alias for keyup or something?

$(document).on('input', 'input:text', function() {});

Answer 1

oninput event is very useful to track input fields changes.

However it is not supported in IE version < 9. But older IE versions has its own proprietary event onpropertychange that does the same as oninput.

So you can use it this way:

$(':input').on('input propertychange');
