how to add a website to autocomplete in firefox focus

I tried wrapping your code in a proper html/head/body but that had no effectġ) I defaulted the minLength property to 1 minLength: 1Ģ) In the setTimeout I set the option for minLength to 0 $('#tags').focus(). The autofocus html5 attribute also still caused the input event to fire. I tried to add a one event handler for focus to call preventDefault() before triggering focus, but that still caused the input event to fire.

As you stated in your question, this only happens when the input element has a placeholder attribute, without the attribute, the input event doesnt fire on focus.

So it's likely not a bug with jquery, rather a feature of ie. The code below all worked fine for some time, and now (maybe for a while, just no one noticed) has stopped working in Firefox and Edge. You will see that ie's native input event is fired on focus of the element. I want to add a text input value to a browser's autocomplete data store programmatically in JavaScript (no jQuery) via a function attached to a 'button' input element.
