Question

I know this question was asked before but I have the following simple code which is not working in IE / MOZILLA
This is a simple script where I am trying to sort out a problem I had.
see code below

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            alert('hi');
        });

        $('.target').change(function () {
            alert('Handler for .change() called.');
        });
    </script>
    Index</h2>
<p>
<form action="/Review" method="post">        <select class="target">
            <option value="option1" selected="selected">Option 1</option>
            <option value="option2">Option 2</option>

        </select>

Answer 1

You need to move the .change binding up into the $(document).ready() or it will run before there is anything in the DOM that matches your .target selector:

$(document).ready(function() {
    alert('hi');
    $('.target').change(function () {
        alert('Handler for .change() called.');
    });
});
