resize() worked too

//bind change listener to the select $select.resize(function() { window.location = $select.val(); });

resize() , instead of change(), seemed to work well, also surprisingly even $button.resize(function() { worked too.

Hi Mark,

I assume you're working with select boxes which shouldn't respond to a resize event as that event is only delegated for when the page changes it's size overall. anytime you're working with a select box and you need to watch for a value change the onchange event on in jQuery's case the change event should be bound.

While this may of worked when it shouldn't have you might find in other browsers it doesn't behave the same way.
