ono / clearable_text_field Goto Github PK

Hi,
Just started to use the plugin v0.3.2 and have come across a problem with IE7 & IE8.
The first time a text field with clearableTextField is used, when then 1st character is typed the text field loses focus.
Futher uses are fine till page is reloaded.

Works fine in Firefox 4, Chrome 10, Safari 5 and Opera 11

I created a very very simple page to rule out anything else on the page and still the same.
Sample code on Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/a0S1L6VW

Cheers,
Mike

I had an issue using this plugin in combination with some other jQuery plugins on the same input field. (Using 1.4, tablesorter_filter, and a hint plugin for text field hints). A second clear button appeared in a sibling text field when I began typing into the first field, also clicking the clear button would cause the browser to hang requiring me to force-quit Safari.

My workaround is to bind the clearableTextField event to only happen on keyup, so changing line 14 to:

  $(this).bind('keyup', onSomethingChanged);

I imagine the plugins involved get confused in handling change() events and start an infinite loop. This issue could just as likely be caused by one of the other plugins, but I just wanted to give a heads up for anyone else experiencing the issue of a possible workaround.
