November 6, 2007 under Internet Explorer, Javascript, Programming

The onChange event for HTML form elements is fired when the value of that element actually changes in Firefox/Seamonkey, Opera, Safari and any other other modern Web browser. It just makes sense. Yet for some lame reason with Internet Explorer, onChange is only fired once the focus on said form element is lost, effectively making onChange act like some freakish onChange+onBlur hybrid. WTF? I’m just wondering what the design reason that the Internet Explorer team at Microsoft came up with could be, is all.
