Rather frustrating time here with IE9. This code works in IE7/8, but not 9.

document.getElementById('id').fireEvent(OnChange);

Any insight as to why?

In IE versions >= 9 and all other browsers you should use the dispatchEvent method:

var event = document.createEvent(HTMLEvents);

event.initEvent(change,true,false);



document.getElementById(id).dispatchEvent(event);
