Here is a sample page: http://pyther.net/a/test.html onchange works, but onclick does not in webkit. This works in firefox. According to w3schools onclick is a supported event: http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_select.asp 195314 1 ap 2010-03-02 16:42:10 -0800 What browser are you testing with? Is it Qt or Gtk based? This test works for me in Safari on Mac OS X. 195317 2 pyther 2010-03-02 16:54:04 -0800 The problem happens with Midori, uzbl, and chromium so (gtk based). However the problem also appears to happens with Arora (qt based). 195321 3 pyther 2010-03-02 17:03:30 -0800 Just to clarify this happens the test on on the dropdown boxes not the submit button. I removed the submit button on the test page. Expected Behavior: onChange - JS alert box when dropdown item is changed onClick - JS alert box when dropdown is clicked Actual Results onchange - works - alert box shows up when item is changed onclick - does NOT work - alert box does not appear 195325 4 dusty 2010-03-02 17:14:22 -0800 Under Chromium for Linux, in pyther's test page, I don't get the onclick alert until I have clicked twice on the select box. Clicking once drops down the menu, then if I click again on the select box (NOT on the menu) the onclick is finally fired. 195701 5 dev 2010-03-03 11:56:50 -0800 I confirm this bug on WebkitGtk. I use the current git head and I don't get the onclick alert. I tried what Dusty Phillips suggested as well, but even if I click the dropdown twice I don't get the alert. As reported before the onchange works as expected.
