I am trying to built a select option menu. If the user chooses the first (default) option, the alert window should be shown, but it isn’t shown. Need help, thanks!

Here is my html code

    <select name="sets" id ="selectset">
        <option value="General">Select Set</option>
        <option value="The Happy Couple">Ceremony</option>
        <option value="Ceremony">Ceremony</option>
        <option value="Lunch">Lunch</option>
        <option value="Garden">Garden</option>
        <option value="Longname">This is max length</option>
      </select>
     <input type="button" class="form_button" id="movetoset" value="  Move Marked to Set">

Here is my javascript code

    $('#movetoset').click(function() {      

              if(document.getElementById("selectset").value == "General"){
                  alert("Please choose a set");
              }
    }
