Add an event handler in the firebug console

Add an event handler in the firebug console

Is it possible to add an event handler to an object in the console in firebug?  I can add the even handler and then see it when I do .data("events") but when I try to trigger the event, it doesn't work. 

I do this in the console:

jQuery('#shipto_country').select( function () { 

if (jQuery('#shipto_country') != 'US') {

jQuery('#shipto_method').toggle();

jQuery('#shipto_method').val("AL");

jQuery('#shipto_state').toggle();

}

else { // US is selected

jQuery('#shipto_state').val("");

jQuery('#shipto_state').toggle();

jQuery('#shipto_method').toggle();

} 

    });



and it returns this:


[select#shipto_country.update_select]


But then when I try to actually trigger the event by selecting a country in the country dropdown, nothing happens.  Is there an issue with adding event handlers in the console as opposed to on the page load?
