Event does not trigger when just using the mouse

[KevinUK]

I have a text field which when clicked on shows previously typed in text (default browser behaviour). The problem is if you click in the text field and then click one of the words, the callback function never gets triggered.

If you are on the previous field and press tab, down, down, tab (select the first item in the list and tab to the next field) then everything works fine so it's just an issue with mouse support.

You are right. The bug appears when using browser's autocomplete feature using only the mouse since TypeWatch is only listening to keyboard events.

As a workaround until a patch is released you can just add autocomplete='off' attribute to the input field.

I've been looking into this and can't find any events to attach to that will resolve this issue. The only thing I've been able to do is attach to the change event but this doesn't really give the same effect. I'll leave this issue open for anyone else to contribute ideas.

Well sure enough a minute later I run across the "oninput" HTML 5 event... This should help with browsers that support that event and other HTML 5 input types as well.
