The most annoying feature of a drop down list box is that once I've selected my option, I use my mouse wheel to scroll down the page and find that it has scrolled through the options of the select box instead - losing my original selection

I attempted to fix this by applying an onchange="this.blur();" but it didn't work. Anyone got any ideas on this annoying bug?

try using:

onchange="self.focus();"

This should return focus back to the page, and not the form element.

It is even more annoying when the drop down is set up as a "Jump Menu" that changes the page URL when it is changed.

Nice tip!
