Event for user selecting continuation in textbox

Question

When I input some text in an <input type="text">, and the text matches some previously input text, the browser will present a dropdown and I can reuse that text.

But which javascript event will the input receive when that text is selected?

• onkeydown/onkeyup does not trigger
• onchange does not trigger.
• In Firefox, it seems like onselect is triggered, but not in chrome. However, that event is used for other purposes.
• onclick does not trigger.
• onblur is as usually only triggered when the input loses focus.

Answer 1

There is an interesting event named input:

JSFiddle example.

Html:

<form>
    <input id="text" name="text" type="text" />
    <input type="submit" value="Sumbit" />
</form>

Script:

$(document).ready(function()
{
    $('#text').on('input', function()
    {
        console.log('Changed to ' + this.value);
    });
});
