text input onChange not firing

ms
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

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? ;-)

I've spent all morning on this and now think there is a (slight?) possiblity that onchange doesn't work for input type="file". Can anybody shed any light on this. The onblur fires just fine. The code is being created inside a servlet and my version of IE is 5.0. <td> <input type="file" id="pictureFile" value="Null" name="pictureFile"

I am looking into the different techniques of handling arrays of edit boxes in Java Script. The first program below works fine.

Hi All; I, like others, have been frustrated with designing forms that look and flow the same in both IE and Firefox. They simply did not scale the same. I have discovered, to my chagrin, that IE7 does not seem to offer any way to control the font size of a text input element.

I'm trying to handle the onChange event in an <input type="file"> element. In IE, there's no problem: the event fires when a file in the "open" box is doubleclicked, or the "Open" button in the box is clicked, or "Enter" is hit in the attached text box. I can get the value of the element. But in Netscape 7, onChange doesn't fire until focus leaves the element. When you double-click a file name or click "open" in the Open box, the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
