select 或text的onchange事件需要手动（通过键盘输入）改变select或text的值才能触发，如果在js中给select或text赋值，则无法触发onchang事件，
例如，在页面加载完成以后，需要触发一个onChange事件，在js中用document.getElementById("province").value="湖北";直接给select或text赋值是不行的，要想实现手动触发onchange事件，需要在js给select赋值后，加入下面的语句
document.getElementById("province").fireEvent('onchange') 来实现,
