Event to detect when the text in an <input> is scrolled?

Question

Is there an event that is fired when the text inside an <input>-tag is scrolled? I mean when the text inside is to long and you move the input caret to the end of it, etc.

There is a scroll event you can catch on the element when that is scrolled in the layout, but that is not what I want.

UPDATE: Here is a fiddle to test the events discussed: http://jsfiddle.net/lborgman/L8k5ggnk/3/

Answer 1

There is no specific event for this that will work across browsers. Firefox does fire a scroll event when the text "scrolls" by changing the insertion point, but Chrome and likely other browsers don't.

Here is a list of events that could change the insertion point.

• input
• keydown
• keyup
• focus
• blur
• click
• change
• paste
• cut
• scroll
• wheel
• dragover

Binding an event listener to all of these should be enough to respond to the insertion point changing. I believe the list above is complete, but if I have missed any, let me know!
