klaus, how did u use timeout to prevent IE or Opera from firing change
events...
Or, did u mean that, to achieve cross-browser consistency, u didn't
listen for change events, rather chose to poll the select on an interval?
I'm simply delaying the handler being executed via setTimeout to prevent
the event handler fired too early if a user navigates quickly through
the select with the keyboard. In my case I needed to submit the form,
which is of course critical:
var change;
$('select').bind('change', function() {
var form = this.form, submit = function() { form.submit(); };
if ($.browser.msie || $.browser.opera) {
clearTimeout(change);
change = setTimeout(submit, 400);
} else {
submit();
}
});
I'd say that is still not 100% bulletproof, but it works...
