Detecting autocomplete on form input with jQuery

Ryan picture Ryan · Jul 23, 2010 · Viewed 45.5k times · Source

I have a form that detects if all the text-fields are valid on each keyup() and focus(); if they're all valid, it will enable the submit button for the user to press. However, if the user fills in one of the text inputs with a browsers autocomplete feature, it prevents the submit button from being enabled.

Is there a way to detect if any of the input has changed regardless of how it's been changed, using jQuery?

You could try using on input to detect text-based changes (except keys like ctrl and shift) in <input>'s.

For example:

$(input).on('input', function() { 
    console.log($(this).val()); 
});
