However, you can change it with the cursor keys. This does NOT fire a onchange event, even though the value in the box has changed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Create an HTML document with a select box. Stick onchange="javascript:window.alert('boo!')" in the HTML. View the page. Go to the box, change the value it shows. The alert pops up. Now, with it focussed, press up and down on the keyboard. Actual Results: Nothing. Expected Results: It should have popped up an alert box.
