$("select").each(function( i, el ){
  var ary=el.id.split( "_" );
  if( ary[0]=="selfundingsource" ) {
    // FAILS HERE WITH MESSAGE ABOVE
    $("#selfundingsource_"+ary[1]).bind("change", function( evt ){
    // if intramural fundingsource code is selected,
    // zero the funding source amount and set readonly
    if( $(el).val()=="00" ) {
      var fscID=el.id.split("_")[0];
      $("#fundingsourceamount_"+fscID).val("0.00");
      $("#fundingsourceamount_"+fscID).attr("readonly", "readonly");
    } else {
      // remove the readonly attribute
      $("#fundingsourceamount_"+fscID).removeAttr("readonly");
