How do I get Google Chrome (9.0.597.98 on Windows 7 64-bit) to fire a form's onchange? If you play around with the following example, nothing gets consoled out. It's working fine in Firefox 3.6.13.

<form onchange=console.info('form changed')>

 <select>

  <option>uno</option>

  <option>dos</option>

 </select>

 <input type=radio name=videoDevice value=tres checked=checked />

 <input type=radio name=videoDevice value=cuatro checked=checked />

</form>

Binding the change event via JS seems to work ok:

HTML

<form id=test>

 <select>

  <option>uno</option>

  <option>dos</option>

 </select>

 <input type=radio name=videoDevice value=tres checked=checked />

 <input type=radio name=videoDevice value=cuatro checked=checked />

</form>

JS

document.getElementById('test').addEventListener('change', function() {

    alert('change fired');

}, false);
