Description

Probably it happens because jquery adds additional jQueryNNNNN.. attribute to input tags.

This works fine. There's no need for the return false: http://jsfiddle.net/timmywil/q3Jqu/.

I'm not sure what return false should/could do across browsers for a change event.

The change event occurs when a control loses the input focus and its value has been modified since gaining focus. This event is valid for INPUT, SELECT, and TEXTAREA. element.

So yeah, don't return false or event.preventDefault() on a change event.
