Not sure I understand the code challenge, given that in the perfect video the .change(); method is shown, I thought I would have to apply that onto the challenge, something like below:
$button.change(function(){ //Go to select's location window.location = $select.val(); });
However does not really seem to be what the challenge asks, can someone help please?

$("#menu").append($button); //we deleted this append
So instead of binding the .change event to the button, we want it to call the function when the $select element has been changed;
$select.change(function(){
//Go to select's location
window.location = $select.val();
});
// This way, as soon as a user selects an option from
// the $select element the function runs and sends the
// browser to the page they selected. This eliminates
// the need for the end user to make an extra click
// on the "Go" button.
