i have been trying to figure this out lately but i can't
the problem is that i have an input
field with type text
that i need to get the current input data when the values from the autocomplete are selected. Note i am using jQuery UI autocomplete.
i can catch the keyup
event but when a user uses clicks on the autocomplete values. jQuery does not fire the change
event handler, i tried using every event handler there is but to no avail.
i think it cannot catch a DOM based manipulation of an element? i'm not sure. here is a fiddle
