Question

I have a form with id="new"

I have several text inputs and a select drop down on it.

I’m using the jquery code:

$('form#new').change(function(){
    alert('this code works');
});

But the .change() function does not work in IE7, however it does work in all other browsers including IE9

Is this a jQuery bug or do I have my coding wrong here some how?

What might be an alternative method of doing this?

the actual thing I’m trying to accomplish here is using

$(this).serialize();

You would probably be safer binding to the form inputs’ onchange events:

$('#new :input').change(function(){
    alert($(this).parent().serialize());
});
