BUG: Onchange Unavailable in VBScript with OptionGroup DTC

• Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When an OptionGroup Design-time control (DTC) is used on an HTML or Active Server Pages (ASP) page, the onchange event associated with the DTC is not available when the Scripting Platform is set to "Client (IE 4.0 DHTML)" and the scripting language is set to VBScript. As a result, any code in the OptionGroup1_onchange() event does not get executed.

RESOLUTION

Use JavaScript instead of VBScript.
