jQuery Dropdown Check List: jQuery click() anomaly

Question

I have a page with several dropdownchecklists, all with checkboxes (multiple selects possible). Inside document ready, I have this simple code:

$(":checkbox").click(alert('TEST'));

The problem is that when the page first loads, the alert fires. What I want to do is only fire the alert when one of the dropdownchecklist boxes is clicked. I know I am being dull of wit here. Can someone enlighten me?

Another way to state the problem is simply "How can I activate a function when a dropdownchecklist checkbox is clicked?"

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

$(":checkbox").click(function(){alert('TEST');});
