i guess, as others have said, the browser will fire change events only when
the select box loses focus for keyboard navigation.
But don't code for this feature making that assumption, as i don't think
this behavior is the same across all browsers.
Either IE or FF (i can't remember which) fires change events during
keyboard navigation as well. Make sure u take that into consideration
as well.
