I have a <select> element which I need to track using change().

jQuery('.dropdown').change(function(){  

yada, yada

});

Works perfectly on already created elements. However, if I dynamically create the <select>, it (obviously) doesn’t work. Now, I’m stuck with jQuery 1.3.2 (long story), so if I use something like:

jQuery('.dropdown').live('change', function(){  

 yada, yada

});

doesn’t work.

So, any ideas? How can I make this work with dynamically created elements?
