I have been fighting this issue for days and would really appreciate any help. Otherwise I guess I will have to submit as an issue.

To keep it simple, I created an HTML page with a signle control, a drop down box. I added an onchange event with a alert but it would not fire. So I added an alert to the onclick event. It fires. why does on click fire and the onchange doesn't?

here is the HTML code:

//Begin function combobox1_onchange
function combobox1_onchange(ctrl) {
alert("ONCHANGE")

}
//End function combobox1_onchange

//Begin function combobox1_onclick
function combobox1_onclick(ctrl) {
alert("ONCLICK")

}
//End function combobox1_onclick

It's a known bug in 7.6.9
You need to apply Hot fix 1 that is supposed to resolve it.

We tried the Hotfix but it caused other problems so we backed it out.

But I was fortunate to find a post from 2005 with a workaround (apparently this problem has been a regular occurence).

You simply have to remap the OnChange Event every time the OnClick event is triggered as follows:

//Begin function combobox50_onclick
function combobox50_onclick(ctrl) {
combobox50.onchange=combobox50_onchange
}
//End function combobox50_onclick

Thanks to "Trav" for this solution.
