Onchange events when transforming select lists for EXTJS integration

Question

Hi,
We have the folloiwng code that transforms select lists to extjs combo boxes
  var selectfield = Ext.query('select[class!="shuttle"][class!="multiselect"]');
  for (var r = 0; r < selectfield.length; r++) {
    //If there is an onchange event then don't convert as onchange is lost
    //This is used for cascading LOVs so we need to find a way of getting this to work
    if((selectfield[r].onchange == '' || selectfield[r].onchange == null) && ((r>0 && selectfield[r-1].onchange == null) || r==0) && selectfield[r].id != 'apexir_NUM_ROWS') {
      var newselect = new Ext.form.ComboBox({
        //hiddenId: selectfield[r].id,
        //hiddenName: selectfield[r].id,
        id: selectfield[r].id,
        typeAhead: true,
        triggerAction: 'all',
        transform: selectfield[r].id,
        width: selectfield[r].clientWidth+5,
        emptyText:'Please select...',
        forceSelection: true,
        maxHeight: 200,
        disabled: selectfield[r].disabled
  }The code does not convert select boxes that have onchange events as the code above seems to suggest they get lost when transforming. Does anyone know if that is the case, and if not how I amend the code to include the onchange events from the original select lists.

Hi Vee,
Thanks for pointing it out -- here at work the only version of IE I have is 6 and I assumed (as usually is the case) it was because of a bug in that specific version. However, I have the all-powerful, (allegedly) standards-compliant IE 9 at home and it behaved exactly the same way!
So you cannot say this is due to an old, non-supported browser. Surely it fits in the bug category then? After all events should not be triggered at random...
Thanks also for the suggestion to fix it. I didn't try it because, in the end, I found out that if I use onchange instead of onblur (in the text field) the problem doesn't occur! onblur would be better, but onchange works fine for what I need.
Thanks
Luis
