Question

I use the following code to check for a change in value of input fields. In this case fields starting with IDs “Status_” and “Position_”

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("input[id^='Status_'], input[id^='Position_']").change(function (e) {
        var type = $(this).attr('id').split('_')[0];
        update($(this), type);
    }); 
});

Now I have changed from status being an input field to being a selectable dropdown.

<select id="Status_0" name="AdminSummaries[0].Status"><option value="1">Released</option>
<option value="2">Review</option>
<option value="3">New</option>
</select>;

Now can I make it so that when a new value is selected in the drop down then the update(..) function gets called just like it did if it was an input field?

Answer 1

Your logic is good. But you may have to change input[id^='Status_'] to select[id^='Status_'].
