jQuery 1.4.2 Using .delegate() on a change event for a doropdown list

Answer 1

This would be the syntax used with .delegate() for this particular case. Notice that the 'listOfOptions' is the class of the drop-down list.

$('body').delegate('.listOfOptions', 'change', function() {
    if ($(this).find(':selected').attr('class') == 'customOption') {
      // DO SOMETHING!!    
    }
    else {
      // DO SOMETHING ELSE      
    }
  });

It works like a charm in all browsers.
