Change event binding requires calling the binding function

[zian]

updateChartOfOpenSpots doesn't get called when the value of Month changes in the following code: <script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function() {

$("#Month").val("March"); updateChartOfOpenSpots();

}); $("#Month").change(updateChartOfOpenSpots()); function updateChartOfOpenSpots() {

$("#right").text("Searching for space..."); $("#right").load("../ReserveSpace/ChangeMonth", { month: "March" });

}

</script>

But it does work with: <script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function() {

$("#Month").val("March"); $("#Month").bind("change", updateChartOfOpenSpots()); updateChartOfOpenSpots();

}); function updateChartOfOpenSpots() {

$("#right").text("Searching for space..."); $("#right").load("../ReserveSpace/ChangeMonth", { month: "March" });

}

</script>

Correction: get rid of the ()s after "updateChartOfOpenSpots" on the line with "bind".

You're calling the function in the bind() rather than passing the function object.
