IE 7 won't call onchange after onkeypress fires (using enter key)

[TS]

I have searched and searched the internet for the solution but cannot find
it. I have an asp.net 2.0 application running the page, but everything is
good...inspecting the control in JS debugging I can see that the onchange
function is setup correctly.

The normal function of the textbox on tab out when the value has changed is
to fire onchange then onblur. When the value changes and I hit enter key,
onkeypress runs then onblur, but not onchange. The event is not raised. I
have added event listeners using attachEvent (which fires during tab out)
and it won't get called either.

I can't just call onchange() from the onkeypress handler because it will
always run even when the value doesnt change (I do a postback onchange so I
cant have it run unless the value really does change)

Please help me as I dont know what else to do.

thanks
