I was looking for a similar thing. Chrome only... In my case the wrapper div needed to know if the input field was autofilled. So I could give it extra css just like Chrome does on the input field when it autofills it. By looking at all the answers above my combined solution was the following:

/*

        $(this).closest('.input-wrapper').addClass('autofilled');
    });
}

/* 
 * Put it on the 'input' event 
 * (happens on every change in an input field)
 */
$('html').on('input', function() {
    $('.input-wrapper').removeClass('autofilled');
    checkAutoFill();
});

/*
 * trigger it also inside a timeOut event 
 * (happens after chrome auto-filled fields on page-load)
 */
setTimeout(function(){ 
    checkAutoFill();
}, 0);

The html for this to work would be
