Input Type=File: Browser Peculiarities: Effects of the onChange attribute

Assertion:

Netscape 2+ only supports the onChange event handler attribute in cases where the user enters or modifies text via the text box; if the "Browse..." button is the only thing used, the event is not fired. Internet Explorer 4.0+ fires the event in both cases.

Plain Input Type=File field, no ONCHANGE attribute:

filler text filler text

Input Type=File field, ONCHANGE="alert('onchange fired!')".

Modify text box contents manually and force a blur()
Invoke file selector dialog, choose a file, dismiss the dialog and force a blur() event
Do both and then force a blur() event:
