Q1288 When clicking on another window or frame, a form fields onChange event handler is not triggered, is there a way to detect changes?

Try using the onBlur event handler to check the current value of the form with a value captured using the onFocus event handler for the form field:

<form>
<input type="text" onFocus="window.temp=this.value" onBlur="if (window.temp != this.value) alert('Changed')" onChange="alert('Changed')">
</form>

However, if used normally both events will trigger the alert.
