Detecting Browser Autofill

Question

How do you tell if a browser has auto filled a text-box? Especially with username & password boxes that autofill around page load.

My first question is when does

Answer 1

From my personal experience, the below code works well with firefox IE and safari, but isn't working very well at picking autocomplete in chrome.

function check(){
clearTimeout(timeObj);
 timeObj = setTimeout(function(){
   if($('#email').val()){
    //do something
   }
 },1500);
}

$('#email').bind('focus change blur',function(){
 check();
});

Below code works better, because it will trigger each time when user clicks on the input field and from there you can check either the input field is empty or not.

$('#email').bind('click', function(){
 check();
});
