Fixing oninput in IE Using html5Widgets
In my previous blog post, I wished that the onforminput event was not deprecated in the HTML5 specification. I have used this attribute in the past to show values in range elements and show calculations of values inside a form, and thought it was perfect for those who know little JavaScript to implement features like this very easily. Rob Crowther made pointed out that the oninput event, which has a similar function as onforminput the main argument behind dropping onforminput event. Makes sense, and I was happy — it works in all modern web browsers, including IE. But as you would guess, there has to be at least one problem with a cool bit of new web technology when it comes to cross-browser implementation.
