.Select event on ReadOnly textarea dosen't fire callback function.

[ilcesco@…]

sample code:

<textarea id="textareaElement" readonly="readonly">lorem ipsum</textarea>

<script type="text/javascript">
$('#textareaElement').select(function(){
   alert('HELLO?');
});
</script>

In Chrome and Safari: The callback function isn't called when textAreaElement have readonly="readonly" attribute.

In Firefox: It works

It's not caused by jQuery, here is the example in bare DOM/JS:

I wasn't able to find any discussion relating to special handling of the select event on read-only text inputs, so I assume this is a bug in the browsers. You'll want to report it to them.
