title: jQuery: What's the correct code to trigger events in Internet Explorer?
body: <p>I'm using jQuery 1.2.7 (I cannot upgrade)</p>
  
  <p>In order to trigger events when a dropdown menu selected value changes, I've been told to use the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#dropdownWidget').bind($.browser.msie ? 'click' : 'change', function(event) {
          //myEvent
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is a screenshot of the widget:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/z3vOT.png" alt="alt text"></p>
  
  <p>It works perfectly on all browsers, however in IE, the event is triggered everytime the user clicks on the widget (even before the new value is selected).</p>
  
  <p>Since I'm triggering AJAX calls, I cannot tolerate this. Thanks</p>
