Discussion
The onChange event fires when the value in the control changes. Controls like the dropdown box fire the onChange event when the user selects a new choice.
The onChange event is automatically wrapped in a setTimeout() function to delay the event for 1ms. This is done to prevent certain timing problems. In some cases, this delay can introduce other timing problems. You can insert a special directive to prevent your code from being wrapped in setTimeout():
{noSet TimeOut}This directive must be added as the first line when editing the action using Text mode or as the first line of an Inline-Javascript action's definition. If Action Javascript is used, the Inline-Javascript action must be the first action in the list.
