I'm not found of the single click behavior anyway--maybe it's because w/carpal tunnel I often find I mis-click (click the wrong things unintentionally.) However, the onchange event does work just fine, and that's probably a better behavior anyway--because then you can select multiple items by dragging the mouse cursor. Change the bind("dblclick") to bind("change") and you should get the behavior like you want. I now seem to recall IE making the onclick happen before updates to form elements so that you could cancel the bubbled event--or at least reading that as their reasoning. -Dan
