is not getting fired. but in textbox which is not in div tab,
onchange happens.

I don't have enough info to give you an answer. The <div> may be the
problem, but I doubt it. There are more likely other reasons.

The first thing I would do is view source after rendering and see what
you have. This will give you a big clue on what the underlying problem
is and may give enough of a clue towards what you have to do in .NET to
fix it.

Personally, I think OnChange is a mistake in a textbox in most
instances, as it fires with every keystroke. If this is the intent,
fine, but generally the intent is when the user is finished with the
text, so the OnBlur event is generally better. It really depends on the
app, of course.

BTW, IE8 has some developer tools baked in, and there is a plugin called
FireBug. Both are very useful for "debugging" client side errors and
omissions.

Peace and Grace,
