    text input onChange not firing

    I have come across a problem where if a user enters the same text into
    a text input after the value has been programmaticall y changed, the
    onChange event does not fire for the second change.

    The following code demonstrates this:

    <html>
    <body>
    <input type=text value='yyy' onchange="this. value='xxx'"></input>
    <input type=text value='2'></input>
    </body>
    </html>


    - Change the value of the first text box to (eg) 'aaa', and tab away.
    'aaa' will change to 'xxx'.
    - Tab back to the first text box, and again enter 'aaa'. Tab away and
    the text stays as 'aaa'. The onChange event does not fire. This has
    also been confirmed using .net studio to break into similar code.

    Is this a known bug, and is there a work-around for it?

    Thanks

    MS

      Which browser? Worked every time for me in Safari 1.0.3, Firefox 1.0
      and IE 5.2 on Mac.

      Perhaps you mean some version of IE on some version of Windows?

      Use a real browser? ;-)
