In Firefox, IE and Opera, with a select menu with size 1, typing a few
characters in the menu selects an item and triggers the onchange event.
In the Webkit-based Safari and Google Chrome, the item appears to be
selected (visually and selectedIndex is set) but the onchange is not
triggered.
The W3C says "The onchange event occurs when a control loses the input
focus and its value has been modified since gaining focus." http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/scripts.html
Doesn't that mean if you type to select then tab or click away from the
menu, the onchange should fire? This doesn't happen in Safari or Google
Chrome.
I can work around this with an onblur but is it me or Webkit not getting
this right?

It does mean that.
This doesn't happen in Safari or Google Chrome.
It does happen in "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE)

That is indeed a bug as is Safari's not regarding the selection a change in
the control's value when it is caused by putting in the leading characters;
however, Quirks Mode might trigger this non-standard behavior. *(I cannot
test it right now.)
I did. I does fail in Safari 3.1.2, latest released version.
But it's been fixed already in the nightly builds (I tested r36882): http://nightly.webkit.org/

Hi all,
For some reason my change() function is only called when the page loads. I'd
much rather it gets called when the select changes.
Here's the code:
window.onload = init;

Hi all
I have a script where I dynamically create multiple inputs and selects
from a script. The inputs and selects must have an associated onchange
handler.
I have the script working fine on Firefox, Safari and Konqueror, but the
onchange event just doesn't fire on IE6.
Firefox's javascript console shows no errors, and the IE script debugger
shows nothing. onchange is not triggered.

I was experimenting with trying to select the same item in a select box
twice in a row
and found out that you need to do a refresh (view - refresh) in
Internet Explorer. This is
so you can click on the same item twice "in a row" to select it.
Does anyone know how to automatically make a web page do a refresh when
the web
page loads? This would prevent the user from having to do the refresh,
themselves.

As anyone knows, the state of Python GUI programming is a little
fractured at this time, with many toolkits, wrappers and meta-wrappers
dead and alive, with or without documentation.
I've come across two projects that have the appeal of striving for
simple, pythonic APIs: PyGUI and wax. The latter is a wrapper around
wxPython. It is lacking documentation but actually quite usable and
concise. The other, PyGUI, has an even nicer API and...

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.
