Question

I am trying to find the best way to have a different function happen on change of my select box.

This is my select HTML

<select name="event-recurring">
<option selected="true">None</option>
<option value="daily">Daily</option>
<option value="weekly">Weekly</option>
<option value="monthly">Monthly</option>
</select>

My jquery is:

$('select[name=event-recurring] option:selected').change (function (){
//Will Do Something
});

How Do I tell it do something different on the different values?

Solution:

$('#event-recurring').change(function (){
    var $select = $(this);

    switch($select.val()) {
        case "daily":
           $('#recurring-options').remove();
           $("<div id='recurring-options' class='row'><label>Choose:</label>Choose a Date</div>").insertAfter('#recurring');
            break;
        case "weekly" :
        $('#recurring-options').remove();
              $("<div id='recurring-options' class='row'><label>Choose:</label>Weekly</div>").insertAfter('#recurring');
            break;
        case "monthly":
        $('#recurring-options').remove();
           $("<div id='recurring-options' class='row'><label>Choose:</label>Monthly</div>").insertAfter('#recurring');
            break;
        default:
            $('#recurring-options').remove();
            break;
    }    
});

$('select[name=event-recurring]').change (function (){
    var $select = $(this);

    switch($select.val()) {
        case "daily":
            // do something
            break;
        case "weekly" :
            // do something else
            break;
        default:
            // default case
            break;
    }    
});

I’d recommend giving the <select> an id too and use that to select it as it will be faster than by name
