This worked nicely but it was very disconcerting. It is not expected
behavior so all of a sudden to have an alert pop up through me a bit. As
well I needed to activate forms mode again and get in to the pull down so I
think it takes a lot of key strokes to do it.

Subject: [WebAIM] Code feedback request: accessible select change events

Hi,

I've written up an approach to making select boxes that trigger functions
when you change their selected option more accessible and if anyone has
some spare time to read through it, I would really appreciate feedback.
