What kind of jquery/javascript event is this?

Question

When i type something in a textfield before and now my browser has it in its "history".

Like if I typed in "idp" and when I go back to the same page and I then type just "i", it comes up with something like a dropdown selection and "idp" would be listed there.

If I selected "idp" from the selection, what javascript/jquery is triggered? I want to write additional codes to handle such an event

Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about: http://i.imgur.com/tYgkgI9.png

Thanks a lot

its an Autofill settings of a browser you can turn on/off through your code — Rakesh Shetty, Sep 05 '14 at 07:04
What's with the downvotes? Perfectly reasonable to ask what event, if any, is triggered when the browser auto-fills. — T.J. Crowder, Sep 05 '14 at 07:04

Chrome fires the input event when you choose something from the auto-fill list, which seems reasonable. In general, I'd expect a browser to fire input, change, or both when doing that. (change will typically only be fired when focus leaves the control, though.) Here's a test page that looks for input, change, and click.
