I have an HTML select list which, when an item is selected, must show different information beneath it. The onclick or JQuery change events are triggered when a select list item is selected by being clicked on (mouse), but not when the user uses key presses (keyboard).

Any idea what event to watch in order to determine when the selected list item has changed?

Here is a BASIC test example:

<select id="mylist" name="mylist">
    <option value="">(none)</option>
    <option value="1">Test 1</option>
    <option value="2">Test 2</option>
    <option value="3">Test 3</option>
</select>

<span id="myspan"></span>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $("#mylist").change(function() {
        $("#myspan").html($("#mylist").attr("selectedIndex"));
    });
</script>
