Firefox: Auto fill does not trigger on view changed

[gaoht]

My Firefox version: 26.0 This is my test sample: http://plnkr.co/edit/wZHXw4PCWolrDoTMw8nZ?p=preview

I copied the autofill-event.js to the plunkr for test.

There are 2 errors:

• When document ready, triggered "DOMContentLoaded" , 200ms delay to trigger change event is not longer enough(I set the delay in the sample to 500ms works fine)
• When I turn to index(another view), then back to sign in view, browser auto fills the inputs, but the event not trigger. I found that auofill is not checked when ui-view changed, so I tried to manually trigger autofill check in the controller, as: $rootElement.find('input').checkAndTriggerAutoFillEvent() also failed.

Is anything wrong in my code?

Hi, sorry for the late answer. Yes, calling $rootElement.find('input').checkAndTriggerAutoFillEvent() manually should auto fill the values, if the view is connected to the root element.

Will try to reproduce this and then come back to you.

Hi, here is an updated plunker: http://plnkr.co/edit/AWSlgcPHMFVCMxhuajDo?p=preview

Just need to wait a little bit before calling changeAndTriggerAutoFillEvent() (I used 200ms in the example).

Ok, I see the problem now. This polyfill should automatically call changeAndTriggerAutoFillEvent if Angular is present and we are doing view changes.

Would you like to try a PR for this?

@tbosch, Thanks very much, that works now.
