I've been using `.bind('input')` with jQuery because it seems to best solution for detecting if they copy/paste into the box, or just type and then select from the browser given drop down menu. My problem with others such as `change()` is that, at least for me, they only trigger when the user's focus on the box is lost.

My problem is that `.bind('input')` doesn't work for me in IE8, yet works in Firefox 4/5. I have tried looking for alternatives to this but have come up empty. Any suggestion?
