Re: alternative to use of onChange in select menus

Other browsers like Firefox have a new problem with onChange event.

When you view the options using the up and down arrow keys of a select box and then "tab" out of the select box, this also seems to trigger the onchange event. So while you can view the options in a select box, you can't not select one of them.

Example:
