Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 126379

When you use the mouse the onChange event is fired properly. But when you use
the keyboard and move down and up the options it isn't been invoked. I tried
this in some other browsers and this is working.
It is used when you have a list of options and they are linked with other fields
and when you change the option the other fields avlues are changing and the
keyboard the selecting is faster.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click to select the select input type
2. use the keyboard to move up and down nothing happens
3. use mouse and alert is saying hello

Actual Results:  
when using keyboard nothing happens

Expected Results:  
an alert must say hello. So the onChange must be called

not bugzilla. please choose select the appropriate product (browser) before
selecting a component.

This is done on purpose to allow keyboard-only users to actually select an
option... (with the other browsers' implementation this is quite difficult). 
Hitting "tab" or "enter" to indicate that you are done selecting the option will
trigger the onchange event.
