Just to follow up, the reason we can't fix this is because IE does not correctly handle the change event. When you attach this event via a jQuery handler via .bind, .live, or .delegate we make heroic efforts to simulate its behavior. We can't do that for inline handlers. In general, inline handlers are bad practice and we do not recommend using them.
