Currently there is no reliable way to detect this. I think firing an event makes sense. I would suggest firing a bubbling, non-cancelable "cancel" event from the input element. The following would be an example of usage: <input type="search" id="x"> <script> var elem = document.getElementById('x') elem.addEventListener('cancel', function(e) { alert('You Clicked Cancel!'); // e.target would be elem }, false); </script> 215061 1 ap 2010-04-20 16:40:12 -0700 See also: bug 34393. 255116 2 tkent 2010-07-22 17:47:49 -0700 Since r63929, WebKit dispatches 'input' event immediately on the cancel button click, and will dispatch 'change' event when the focus is moved from the input field. I think this behavior is enough. 1998620 3 annevk 2023-12-11 06:26:23 -0800 Agreed with comment 2.
