im working a domain check script it works fine when i call ajax on keyup but by default the dropdown has the .com what if the user chooses a domain that is already taken, how can i get this script to do another check when the users switch from .com to .net or .org?

$(document).ready(function () {

    var validateUsername = $('#validateUsername');
    $('#domain').keyup(function () {

        var tld = $('#tld').val();
        if (this.value != this.lastValue) {
            if (this.timer) clearTimeout(this.timer);
            validateUsername.removeClass('error').html('checking...');
            this.timer = setTimeout(function () {
                $.ajax({
                    url: 'DomainCheck.php',
                    data: 'domain=' + domain + '&tld=' + tld,
                    dataType: 'json',
                    type: 'post',
                    success: function (j) {
                        validateUsername.html(j.msg);
                    }
                });
            }, 3500);
            this.lastValue = this.value;

Something like this:

$('select[name="tld"]').change(function() {
    //your ajax code
});

That would of course duplicate your code, so I would recommend wrapping it inside a function.

remove the "" around tld, so it should be $('select[name=tld]')...

You need to use live. More about it here http://api.jquery.com/live/Something like this: $(selecter).live('change', function() { ... });Or the second option would be similar, but you would have to bind the event yourself.
