jQuery: Dropdown menu

"Modify the $button click code so it now performs the redirect when the $select is changed." This is the code I used, which is clearly wrong :( What am I missing, please?

$button.click(function(){ window.location=$select.change(function.val(); });

They want the redirect to happen when $select is changed, so you need to replace $button.click( with $select.change(.

$select.change(function(){
  window.location = $select.val();
});

Took me a few to minutes but I got past the Error on Task 1 problem.

  1. First remove the code on line 27 entirely

2.Change line 29 to this $select.change(function(){

If this does not work please respond with the error and your code so I can see what may be the problem

to solve the problem of task one no longer passes, you must remove the line you changed in Task one
