As far as I can tell this only is only broken in Internet Explorer. I have a script that creates multiple dynamic <select> elements and adds an onchange event for them. The onchange event fires in Firefox with no problem but in Internet Explorer it never fires. Using Developer Toolbar I see the DOM has the correct event listed, it just never fires. I've boiled down the problem to the following code:
<html>
<head>
<script language=javascript>
function addSelect() {
var se = document.createElement('select');
se.setAttribute(onchange, alert('Dynamic'));
se.options[0] = new Option(1, 1);
se.options[1] = new Option(2, 2);
se.options[2] = new Option(3, 3);
se.options[3] = new Option(4, 4);
var plh = document.getElementById(ph);
plh.appendChild(se);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload=addSelect()>
<select name=something onchange=alert('Static')>
<optgroup label=set1>
<option value=1>1</option>
<option value=2>2</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label=set2>
<option value=3>3</option>
<option value=4>4</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
<div id=ph>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The static alert message comes up fine, but the dynamic one doesn't do anything in Internet Explorer. I'm nearly positive I've seen this work elsewhere, but I can't seem to find other examples. Does anybody see/know of a way to get this to work?
