Google Chrome change event in input is not fired if char added on keyup

Question

$(\'input#not-gonna-work\').bind({
    keyup: function(){
        console.log(\'Typed a key\');
        $(this).val($(this).val() + \'.\');// try with any other char         


        

Answer 1

I tried it in IE9 and it has the same behavior as Chrome.

I don't think it's a bug.

Using .val(value) on an HTML element will reset the "manually changed" flag and thus no change event will occur (because the user doesn't change anything manually AFTER the val() operation).
