178727 - select list onchange does not work as expected when manipulated with keyboard

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 178288

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect)

Description

[Tommy Morgan]

When a <select> has focus and you change the selection using the keyboard, the
onchange handler is not fired until the select list loses focus.  This behavior
is not typical from what I have seen in other browsers including older versions
of Netscape Navigator.

Please always include the Mozilla build ID when you file a bug.
This URL is a good guide to filing:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided
Among other things, it automatically adds your build ID.

This is a browser issue, not a JS Engine issue. JavaScript Engine
deals with the abstract JavaScript programming language. Specifically,
low-level objects such as String(), Number(), and Date(). The JS Engine
is not itself aware of browser or DOM objects like window, document,
selects, etc.

Reassigning to DOM Level 0, although this is a duplicate which 
I will now look up -
