Here’s what I have so far:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery.js"></script>

 <script type="text/javascript"> 

$(document).ready(function() { 
    $("#weight").change(onSelectChange);
}); 

function onSelectChange(){
        var selected = $('#weight').val();
        $.post("tship.php", {weight: selected},
            function(data){
                $("#ship").html(data.ret_html);
                }, "json");
} 

 </script>   


</head>
<body>

<select id="weight">
  <option>1</option>
  <option>2</option>
  <option>3</option>
  <option>4</option>
</select>

<br />

<div id="ship">
</div>

</body>
</html>

I want to change it so that onSelectChange accepts a single parameter. I need to be able to call the function for other events as well – not only when the select box value changes. Here is my attempt, not working:

<script type="text/javascript"> 

$(document).ready(function() { 
    $("#weight").change(onSelectChange($('#weight').val()));
}); 

function onSelectChange(parm){

        $.post("tship.php", {weight: parm},
            function(data){
                $("#ship").html(data.ret_password);
                }, "json");
} 

</script>

    You should add another function:

    $("#weight").change(function(){
      onSelectChange($('#weight').val());
}); //close the anonymous function

    Note that in your original code you’ve passed onSelectChange as a reference, you didn’t start it – onSelectChange(). With the code as it is, you start the function once instead of binding it.
