Question

Answer 1

onchange in IE only fires when the checkbox loses focus. So if you tab to it, hit space a few times, tab out, you'll only get one onchange event, but several onclick events.

Note: this is one of the very, very, very rare times when IE's behavior is correct (according to spec) and other browsers are wrong.
