p.s. I noticed the (very smartly implemented) 
ComboBox_ListFireTextChange in NoAuth/js/combobox.js which checks to see 
if there's an onchange event attached to the text input field and, if 
so, fires it.

Is there a special smooth-and-easy way to hang an onchange on a 
particular custom field? Makes me want to add a column to the 
customfield table to add custom JS per field ...
