I'd suggest an alternate course of action... as there is no "change" event for a <form> tag
http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/event_onchange.asp like maybe not wire up the "change" event, but rather the "focus" event, which <form> doesn support, check the target as an input:text, and then wire the change event at that point.....
