Why does the javascript onchange event not fire if autocomplete is on?

Question

I have a textbox with an onchange event. Why does this event not fire when the user uses the autocomplete feature to populate the textbox?

I am working with Internet

Last time I had that issue, I ended up using the onpropertychange event for Internet Explorer instead. I read about that here on MSDN: it is the recommended way to get around it.
