Send key doesn't trigger key up or key down

Im sending keys to a input filter using sendkeys and supposed to be it will update the contents of the table, I check its screenshot and it placed the characters on the field. unfortunately after sendkeys, it doesnt trigger either keyup/keydown.

How to trigger keyup or keydown on casper?

Code:

this.sendKeys('input[name=\"filterString\"]', 'string');

casper.sendKeys() should have triggered the keyup and keydown events, because it uses native browser events which should be indistinguishable from user input in other browsers.

You trigger it yourself by keeping focus and then triggering those events:

this.sendKeys('input[name=\"filterString\"]', 'string', {keepFocus: true});
this.page.sendEvent("keydown");
this.page.sendEvent("keyup");
this.page.sendEvent("keypress");

For this you can use the underlying PhantomJS function page.sendEvent().
