Countable callback not called in IE9 when input characters are deleted #30

There seems to be a bug in IE9's oninput event. The bug causes the event to not fire when characters are deleted (e.g. – backspace, delete, cut).

Countable currently uses oninput if the browser is capable. While IE9 is capable of oninput, it might be better to force IE9 to use the onkeyup event. IE9 does appear to fire onkeyup when characters are deleted.

Discussion on this issue will be in #31.
