OK I've sorted this to some extent.....If I use the onblur event it solves
it because it doesn't check to see if it's changed but the point is that it
has changed so the onchange event should work too

OK another Javascript teaser.....

I have written a function which changes the value in text box 2 when the
value text box 1 changes.  I call this function in the onchange event of
text box 1.  By definition of the onchange event this function should run if
and only if the value in text box 1 is different when focus is lost to when
focus was gained.  When I enter the form the value in text box 1 is blank.
I start to type in something and IE recognises that what I am trying to type
in I've entered before (much like when you attempt to go to a URL that is in
the browser history).  I select the entry from the drop down list I get and
hit tab to tab off the text box.  When I do this the function is not called.
However when I do not select it from the drop down list and type it in
manually it does call the function!....does anyone know why this is
happening and what I can do to stop the browser trying to predict what I'm
typing in ?
