I have a checkout form that will display a pop-up survey to ask why they haven't started filling out the form after 5 seconds. However, I need to be able to check whether the user has actually entered data as opposed to data entered by the browser's auto-fill feature (any pre-populated data set in the markup I specifically ignore in the javascript or jQuery).
Right now my solution is to have the setTimeout run a function which checks a variable (true or false) that is set to false on a jQuery .focus or .change event on the input types (input, select, textarea). However, since the javascript may load after the user is able to use the form elements, I have to check whether the user has entered data before the survey pops up.
Is it possible to differentiate between user-inputted data and browser-inputted data if the javascript loads after the user has done anything to the form fields?
