Fire a javascript event when textbox is autocomplete?

Question

I need to enable a button when a textbox is filled. However no javascript event is fired when you fill the textbox using the browser autocomplete function, so I need a way to catch this "event". I tryed many javascript events like change focus but they aren't fired when you select and option in the autocomplete "combo".

$('#mytextbox').on('change', function(){
   $('#mybutton').removeAttr('disbled');
});
