I was playing with Object.observe in the latest version of Chrome and was wondering why it does not work for the 'value' property of a text input. The code below will log a change for adding/changing the 'foo' property, but not for changing the value property. Anybody know why?

var myTextInput = document.getElementById('myTextInput'); Object.observe(myTextInput, function(changes){ changes.forEach(function(change) { console.log(change); }); }); myTextInput.value = 'test123'; myTextInput.foo = 'bar';
