Just wondering whether anyone knows what events an HTML5 <input type="number" /> element fires when it's up / down arrows are clicked:
I'm already using an onblur for when the focus leaves the input field.

A:
onchange would be the event that is fired when the field's value changes.
I think the HTML5 event oninput would also fire.

only `oninput` is fired when 'up' and 'down' arrows are clicked.

but onchange only fires on blur, atleast in firefox. I guess we will have to look for key press.

onchange and oninput both worked in Opera, but only oninput would work in Chrome (and only then when I returned false from the event-handler - otherwise Chrome would repeatedly fire the oninput event)

@N 1.1: `oninput` IS fired when a character is insert into the field

A:
The onchange event fires on blur but the oninput event fires as you type. Maybe you might want to put a timer on the oninput event and fire your onchange event when the user has stopped typing for a second?
