How do I get iE6 to fire jquery change event without using jquery?

I need to fire change events in iE6 without JQuery, I use something like this code to trigger the event:
  1. document.getElementById("mySelect").fireEvent("onchange");
Since JQuery 1.4, this doesn't trigger a jquery change event, ie .bind("change", myFn) isn't called when this above code fires.  I know "change" had a large overhaul and has done some  normalizing of this event. 

Do I need to add or edit the event somehow to make the fireEvent trigger jquery bound events? Fire a different named event?
