    No, the 'onclick' function is in the <select> tag

    AISB,  I was getting errors (a week ago) using the onchange event. Then, 
(after googling 'IE8 and onchange problems'), I noted several search results 
that indicated onchange should be replaced with onclick.

    So, now I'm totally confused -- but at least I've got console.log to 
work -- with no helpful results. I still get the 'hang' -- but with an 
alert() planted in the onclick function everything's fine in IE.

Thanks all.
