Recently, the iPhone/iPod Touch Safari onchange behavior for the <select> element stopped working. I think it happened with the 2.0 ipod touch update.

My select box <select > used to trigger an event, but now that event is ignored.

Is this just me? Or are others having this problem?

If you want to see the code: http://latinlexicon.org/search_latin.php ... It's an AJAX application. Please note that if I change the onchange to it still doesn't trigger the event. (In other words, it's not a _javascript_ coding error).

I've tried mouseup, mousedown, keyup, keydown, blur, focus ... None of them work as expected. They all trigger *before* the finger-scroll or *after* you click off the select box. I even tried them on the <option> out of desperation!

Does anyone know of a workaround? I have a feeling this is going to break a lot of applications. I've been googling it for 2 days and I've found nothing useful.

<rdar://problem/6106609> REGRESSION (1.1.4-2.0): onchange events broken for <select> lists with size or multiple attributes

The only workaround I know of is to remove the "size" and (if set) "multiple" attributes on the <select> element. However, since all <select> elements are drawn the same way on iPhone OS, this won't change its appearance there.

Thanks!
