Simple question –

When I run the below (really trivial mocked up so I can post here) page in Firefox (haven’t tested others) I get a “ready” alert, but I never get a change event from the select element. I’ve got code on other pages where this seems to work.

I see no errors in firebug or in FF’s error console. What am I doing wrong?

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<body>
<select id="SeachFor" name="SearchFor">
<option id="0" value="0" selected="selected">Customer Number</option>
<option id="1" value="1">Email Address</option>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        alert("ready");
        $("#SearchFor").change(function (evt) {
            alert("changed");

        });
    });
</script>
</body>

    Change SeachFor to SearchFor, simple typo.

    <select id="SearchFor" name="SearchFor">
 <option value="0" selected="selected">Customer Number</option>
 <option value="1">Email Address</option>
</select>
