How to bind an event to appended element in jQuery?

Is there an event handler for selecting a particular option in a select element? (jQuery)?

• I need a jQuery method to act as an event handler that is triggered when someone selects an option from an HTML select element. It is NOT in a form, and I need to be able to have separate handlers for specific options inside the select menu. Thanks in advance, -Luther

• Answer:

  Indeed the change event is the one you're looking for, to get the selected option: $('select#mySelect').change(function()… $option = $(this).children(':selected'); });
