Date: 2009apr1 Language: javaScript Library: jquery Q. jQuery: How do *you* add a jQuery event A. This this example we'll add an onChange() event. The regular jQuery docs says this is the way to add an event:

$("#my_control").change(function() { alert('changed1'); });

Many people find this syntax weird. I used a nameless function. So you may wish to do it this way:

function my_control_changed() { alert('changed2'); } $("#my_control").change(my_control_changed);

This way you can use the name of the function to provide a bit of documentation.
