jQuery not triggering .change() on dynamically modified select options in Bootstrap Modal
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I'm working on a Bootstrap modal that contains a jQuery-driven select dropdown. The options in the dropdown are populated dynamically via an AJAX call after the modal is opened. However, the `.change()` event listener I have attached to the select dropdown doesn't seem to trigger when I change the selection after the options have been modified. Here's the code for my modal setup: ```javascript $('#myModal').on('show.bs.modal', function () { $.ajax({ url: '/api/getOptions', method: 'GET', success: function (data) { const $select = $('#mySelect'); $select.empty(); $.each(data, function (index, item) { $select.append(new Option(item.text, item.value)); }); $select.change(); // This doesn't seem to do anything } }); }); $('#mySelect').change(function() { console.log('Selected value:', $(this).val()); }); ``` I expected the console to log the selected value whenever the user makes a selection, but it doesn't log anything after the options are populated. I tried calling `$select.change()` after appending the options, thinking it might trigger the event, but that doesn't help. The event listener works perfectly if I set the options statically in the HTML. I've also verified that `$('#mySelect')` returns the correct element after the options are added, and I even tried re-attaching the event listener after the AJAX call, but that didn't work either. Is there something specific about how jQuery handles dynamically created elements that I might be missing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm working on a service that needs to handle this. This is happening in both development and production on Linux. How would you solve this?
