Description

[Arun Nallan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

The test fails in firebird. I have tested it in Firebird 0.7 with Windows XP
platform. Not sure about other versions of Mozilla. Working correctly in IE
versions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. GO to url
http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/TS/html401/cp0102/0102-ONCHANGE-SELECT.html or any
other URL which has an 'onchange' event handler for the SELECT element
2.Use keyboard to change the option in the select element
3.

Actual Results:  
Event not fired

Expected Results:  
Event should be handled. (for eg. javascript function like fn_onChange(); should
be called)

You have to hit enter or tab out of the select when you are done changing. 
Otherwise the onchange would fire every time you changed to a different option,
before you got to the one you actually wanted to select.  Given the number of
places that trigger navigation off onchange, that would be very poor.
