“onchange” event delayed in IE? (ok with Firefox)

Question

It might be a beginner question but I can\'t understand why the onchange event is never called by IE while it works Ok with firefox.

Answer 1

IE only fires the onchange event when the element loses focus - if you were to click outside the element or tab to a different element it should fire then.

You can get around this by using a different event, for example onkeypress.
