oninput in IE9 doesn't fire when we hit BACKSPACE / DEL / do CUT

Question

What\'s the cleanest solution we use to overcome the problem that IE9 doesn\'t fire the input event when we hit BACKSPACE / DEL / do CUT?

By cleanest I mean code

Answer 1

you could try html5Forms (formerly html5widgets)

Since I hate COBOL, I decided to update my html5Widgets library to:

1. Add support for oninput for browsers that don’t support it (e.g. IE7 and 8)
2. Force IE9 to fire a form’s oninput when the backspace and delete keys are pressed inside any of the input nodes.
3. Force IE9 to fire a form’s oninput when the cut event is fired on any of the input nodes.

here is a link to the commit that adds this support
