input type="file" onchange not firing

[Ron Brennan]

I've spent all morning on this and now think there is a (slight?) possiblity
that onchange doesn't work for input type="file". Can anybody shed any light
on this. The onblur fires just fine. The code is being created inside a
servlet and my version of IE is 5.0.

<td>
<input type="file"
id="pictureFile"
value="Null"
name="pictureFile"
style="display:none;"
onchange="alert('File onchange fired.');">
</input>
<td>

I just discovered on the Web that onchange doesn't work in version 5 but
works in version 6. The workaround is:

onpropertychange="if(event.propertyName=='value') {alert('onchange
fired.');}"
