Typeahead search not working in Chrome

[Tryster]

On initial investigation it appears that the keydown event is not being fired in chrome...

Fiddle

I'm getting a keydown response for the example in Chrome 16.0.912.75 on a Mac. Could you describe the issue further?

Same version of Chrome on windows. When using the fiddle previously posted (and having the chrome dev tools open with a breakpoint on the keydown handler of placeholder - circa line 100) the keydown event handler is not triggered.

I've done some more investigation and after dropping down the list, if I first press the tab key (to activate/focus the control) before typing the events are triggerred.

Closing #2 which will be resolved in #3
