I am working on a website that auto populates search result in a table

  • 0

I am working on a website that auto populates search result in a table after user entered some text in the input text box (similar to google instant search).

I managed to get knockout js to update view model as user enters information by adding

valueUpdate: 'afterkeydown'

into my data-bind attribute, however, I also need to handle the case where user right click and paste some text into the textbox so I tried:

valueUpdate: ['afterkeydown','mouseup']

but that didn’t work and when I tried to read the value of the text box through the view model I kept getting the old value until I tab out of the input text box.

Anyone know how can I fix this?

    You can use valueUpdate:’input’. I have testet it to work in Opera, Firefox and Chrome. I’m on a Linux box, so I can’t test it in IE. Check this fiddle

    UPDATE: I have now testet it in IE8, and it doesn’t work. But using the following seems to work.

    valueUpdate:['afterkeydown','propertychange','input']

    Thanks to Michael Best for his comment about this 🙂 I have updated the fiddle

    UPDATE okt 2014: As kzh mention in a comment below, in one of the later versions of Knockout.js the textInput binding was added. This binding handles this scenario and has build in browser quirks handling
