This is my sample code. The select function is not working. What I’m doing wrong here. Browser chrome, OS Windows 7.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>
  p { color:blue; }
  div { color:red; }
  </style>
  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <p>
    Click and drag the mouse to select text in the inputs.
  </p>
  <div id="b">Some text in div element</div>


  <div id="a"></div>
<script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
          $("#b").select( function () { 
          $("#a").text("Something was selected").show().fadeOut(1000); 
        });
    });
</script>

    jQuery’s .select works on <input type="text"> fields and <textarea> boxes, not divs.
