Simple question really. This works in all but IE6: <html> <body> </body> <select id=test

Simple question really. This works in all but IE6:

<html>
<body>
</body>
<select id="test" onchange="blur()">
<option name="one">One</option>
<option name="two">Two</option>
<option name="three">Three</option>
</select>
</html>

Is there anyway to get this working in IE6? JavaScript and JQuery hacks allowed.

Any ideas, remarks or tips?
Thanks in advance

    Under jQuery:

    <script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
    $('#test').change(function() {
        $(this).blur();
    });
});
</script>

    Or you may try replacing:

    With:

    <select id="test" onchange="javascript:blur(this);">

    UPDATE: Actually it seems that the IE6 JavaScript engine has problems with blur()

    A (non-ideal) work around is:

    <script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
    $('#test').change(function() {
        $('body').focus();
    });
});
</script>

    Which will lose focus on the select input field by focussing the HTML document.
