.change is not being detected from select in table cell

.change is not being detected from select in table cell

I added a test script to detect the change of a html select object and it is not firing.

The select is within a table row.  The table id is:  flogtable and the select is in the first row.

The test function I added is: 

        $('.symselect').change(function() {
              alert('Handler for .change() called.');
         });

What am I missing?
