Question

i have a SELECT, and I want it to animate something onchange, heres the SELECT code:

<select id="account_select" onchange="submit_value()">
<option value="">Select account</option>
<option value="1">Account 1</option>
<option value="2">Account 2</option>
</select>

heres the jquery:

function show_keyboard ()
{
    $('.keyboard').animate({bottom: '0px'}, 2000);
}

function submit_value ()
{
    if (!is_number($('#account_select').val()))
    {
        alert('You must select an account');
    }
    else
    {
        show_keyboard();
    }
}

the problem is, that after i select an account, i have to click somewhere on the screen in order for the keyboard to appear via the show_keyboard function. i don’t know why.

Answer 1

well i know that using jquery’s change function is a better approach…this issue seemed to resolve itself after a browser refresh.
