[jQuery] Referencing the target field in an Event Handler
I have attached an event handler to a form field like this:
$('#'+fieldID).bind("change", {fieldref: fieldID}, this.changeHandler)
In my handler, I can get a reference to the field by using
'event.target' and I can use jQuery functions by doing $
(event.target)....
In this example, my field is a select field. If I want to get the
value of that select field, am I correct to assume that the best way
to do this is:
event.target.options[event.target.selectedIndex].value
or is there a better way to do this with jQuery?
