no-onchange

Enforce usage of onBlur over/in parallel with onChange on select menu elements for accessibility. onBlur should be used instead of onChange, unless absolutely necessary and it causes no negative consequences for keyboard only or screen reader users. onBlur is a more declarative action by the user: for instance in a dropdown, using the arrow keys to toggle between options will trigger the onChange event in some browsers. Regardless, when a change of context results from an onBlur event or an onChange event, the user should be notified of the change unless it occurs below the currently focused element.
