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

Just in case someone is looking for a solution (just as I was today), to listen to a browser autofill change, here's a custom jquery method that I've built, just to simplify the proccess when adding a change listener to an input:

    $.fn.allchange = function (callback) {
        var me = this;
        var last = "";
        var infunc = function () {
            var text = $(me).val();
            if (text != last) {
                last = text;
                callback();
            }
            setTimeout(infunc, 100);
        }
        setTimeout(infunc, 100);
    };

You can call it like this:

$("#myInput").allchange(function () {
    alert("change!");
});
