Demo Site Renders Wrong in IE10 about countable

[epmatsw]

It looks like the button is due to IE10 needing 'to top' as the parameter in linear-gradient instead of just 'top'

[epmatsw]

The counting seems to be the result of the placeholder attribute triggering the input event, which is an interesting bug if that's the case.

Can't do much about the gradient as it's generated by Compass. They are aware of the issue and currently fixing it.

About the placeholder and the input event, can you try to run this test and see if there's any output to the console?

[epmatsw]

Ah, didn't realize it was generated. My bad.

And there's only output when you click into the box, not when you click out like on the demo site.

On the other hand, that behavior is different from Firefox. In Firefox, there's only output when you actually type a character. In IE10, clicking into the box triggers output.

All right, one last comment. To clarify, if there's placeholder text and you click into the input, it removes the placeholder and fires the event. Exiting the input box doesn't fire anything, and the placeholder comes back. Clicking into it again fires again, but after typing something (and firing the event appropriately), clicking into and out of the textbox doesn't fire anything.

It is most likely an issue in IE's implementation then. Technically, the input event should only fire when the value has changed. As the placeholder is only shown with an empty value, the event shouldn't be fired in the situation you describe.

Any idea where we could file a bug with Microsoft?

[epmatsw]

Haha, I have no idea. It's surprising that no one else would have noticed something like that, but I can't find anyone else having a problem using Google.

All right. Filed a bug report: https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/781434/change-of-focus-to-input-with-placeholder-triggers-input-event

The site returns a 404 for me, but it might be an issue on my side. Anyway, I think we can close this issue for now and wait for Compass to be fixed.

I think if you're logged in to their public feedback site it should work. It was kind of a pain to get there.
