The oninput event in IE10 is consistently triggered upon redirection

I have encountered a strange issue with IE10 when redirecting the page on an 'oninput' event, which does not occur with Chrome. I have simplified the code to demonstrate the problem:

<html>

<head>

<script type="text/javascript>
function onChangeInputText()
{
    window.location.href = "oninput_problem.html"; // Go back to this page.
}
</script>

</head>

<body>

<input type="text"
    oninput="onChangeInputText()"
    value="£"
    />

</body>

</html>

When accessing this code in IE10 on my Windows 7 PC, it repeatedly redirects as if initializing the input text box's value triggers an immediate 'oninput' event. However, changing the initial value from '£' to 'A' prevents the repeated redirection.

I first noticed this issue in a project where user input should trigger a delayed page refresh. The problem started when I entered a '£' symbol. The code above is my attempt to isolate the cause of the problem.

Has anyone else experienced this issue with IE10? Any insights into why IE10 behaves this way?

Answer №1

It appears that there may be a bug in IE10 based on the information I've come across:

social.msdn.microsoft.com: Event oninput triggered on page load

There is also a follow-up bug report linked within the above page:

connect.microsoft.com: onInput event fires on loading the page when input @value is non-ASCII

UPDATE: Microsoft's response at the end of the second link suggests that they are currently unable to replicate the reported bug, indicating a potential delay in resolving the issue...

Answer №2

Another bug report is currently unresolved:

Answer №3

If you ever come across this situation, you have the option to utilize this particular "class" instead of relying solely on the onInput event.

const getFieldWatcherInstance = (function(watchedElement, onElementValueChange){
        let intervalReference = null;
        let lastValue = null;
        if(!watchedElement instanceof Element) return new Error('watchedElement is not an HTML Element');
        if(typeof onElementValueChange !== 'function') return new Error('onElementValueChange is not a function');
        return {
            toggleFieldWatching : function(){
                if(intervalReference){
                    clearInterval(intervalReference);
                    intervalReference = null;
                }
                else{
                    intervalReference = setInterval(function(){
                        const currentValue = watchedElement.value;
                        if(lastValue !== currentValue){
                            onElementValueChange(currentValue);
                            lastValue = currentValue;
                        }    
                    }, 100);   
                }    
            }
        };    
    });

Implementation:

const myInputChangeWatcher = getFieldWatcherInstance(<**insert real element reference here**>, function(newValue){
console.log('The new value is: ' + newValue);
});

Invoke myInputChangeWatcher.toggleFieldWatching() during the onfocus and onblur events of the input field.
