jQuery events get lost

[ghost]

When I attach iMask to an input field via it's ID or class I'm not able to catch any other jQuery events any more, like this:

form input type="text" id="test" class="validate-me" /form

$('.validate-me').iMask({ type: 'number', decDigits: 0, decSymbol: '', groupSymbol: '.' }); $('.validate-me').change( function() { alert('changed!') } );

does not fire the jQuery change event any more.

Testing iMask and a slew of similar, this seemed by far the best. Until I hit this problem. It does appear to be a show-stopper (at least for my apps). I'm surprised that it has gone four months without even a comment.

Oh well, on to the next candidate.

Yeah, thats really annoying. I have solved this however, by doing it this way:

$('.validate-me').live('blur', function() { alert('changed!') });

"blur" gets fired when the focus leaves the input field, which is what I wanted to achieve with the former "change". So it's working fine for me. Hope this is a useful information :)

Thanks. I ended up with the same conclusion except I saved the previous value so I could, in effect, detect ‘change’ and just ignore otherwise. A little inconvenient but there was a lot of database activity involved in a change that I didn’t want happening on a simple “hello, just passing through” event.
