HTML5 number spinbox controls not triggering a change event?

Question

We are currently using jQuery to trigger a recalculation on a form input field. Using HTML5 we get nice spinboxes in Safari (at least on 5.0.3 Mac). However updating the field with the spinbox controls doesn't seem to trigger a change event at all. It's like the field hasn't been updated. Is this just an oversight in WebKit? Or are there ways around this?

Edit: Changing the spinbox doesn't even trigger an input event.

Answer 1

You want to use the oninput event. Use something like $("...").bind("input", fn);.
