jQuery event when select option

Question

What's the event to bind for when a select form is selected?

I have something like this:

<select id='list'>
<option value='1'>Option A</option>
<option value='2'>Option B</option>
<option value='3'>Option C</option>
</select>

When Option B is selected, I want some function to run.

So what do I bind,

$("#list").bind("?", function (){
// How do I check if it's option b that's selected here
//blah blah
});

Thanks.

Answer 1

the event you are looking for is change. more info about that event is available in the jquery docs here: http://docs.jquery.com/Events/change#fn

Answer 2

This jQuery snippet will get you started:

$('#list').change(function() {
    if ($(this).val() === '2') {
        // Do something for option "b"
    }
});
