Oninput() not working on select

Question

I am using this oninput="setCustomValidity('') on input tag perfectly but it not seem to be working in a select tag. Is this valid in select tag?.

<select class="dropdownlist" required oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity('Please select Accused Name')" oninput="setCustomValidity('')">

Answer 1

Simply No, not valid for the select

The oninput() is useful if you want to detect when the contents of a textarea, input:text, input:password or input:search element have changed, because the onchange event on these elements fires when the element loses focus, not immediately after the modification.

So, use onchange() as an alternative for the same!

Hope this will help
