Description

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.

For more help ask in the forum.
