## Definition and Usage

The change event occurs when the value of an element is changed (only works on form fields).

The change() method triggers the change event, or attaches a function to run when a change event occurs.

Note: For select menus, the change event occurs when an option is selected. For text fields or text areas, the change event occurs when the field loses focus.

## Syntax

Trigger the change event for the selected elements:

$(selector).change() Try it

Attach a function to the change event:

$(selector).change(function) Try it

Parameter | Description
