Jquery dropdown select issue in Chrome and IE

The following code works in Firefox but not in Chrome and IE. Any idea why? Thanks!

$('#image_dd option:selected'开发者_如何学Go).live('click', function() {

    alert("TEST 1");

    if ($("#image_dd").val().length) {
          alert("TEST 2");
    }

    return false;

});

IE doesn't pick up "click" for select options (although firefox does!). You will probably need to use the "change" event instead, works fine in ie, chrome and firefox.

I think your trying to bind to the wrong element and event. Try binding your event handler to the select element and using the "change" or "blur" triggers.
