triggering a change event on widget's select IN BACKBONE

[DaveC426913Member]

I’m progressively enhancing my form by converting selects to dropdpwnLists.

we are using backbone

Two of my fields are ‘country’ and ‘state’. State can’t populated until I know what country has been selected. This is easy enough to do for the original selects:

        events: {
            "change select[name='country']" :   "setStateFromCountry",
        },

But after I’ve enhanced these selects, there’s no ‘change’ event on a div.

Ultimately this is essentially what I want to do:

“change #widgetDropdown-country” : “setStateFromCountry”

but HOW???

hi DaveC426913,

jqxDropDownList already have a ‘change’ event.

Here’s a code which demonstrates how to use it:

$('#jqxDropDownList').bind('change', 
function (event) {     
    var args = event.args;
    if (args) {
        // index represents the item's index.                      
        var index = args.index;
        var item = args.item;
        // get item's label and value.
        var label = item.label;
        var value = item.value;
    } });
