I have attached an event handler to a form field like this: $('#'+fieldID).bind("change", {fieldref: fieldID}, this.changeHandler)
In my handler, I can get a reference to the field by using 'event.target' and I can use jQuery functions by doing $ (event.target).... In this example, my field is a select field. If I want to get the value of that select field, am I correct to assume that the best way to do this is: event.target.options[event.target.selectedIndex].value or is there a better way to do this with jQuery?
