my pseudo-code below

```
$("#oneElement").bind(
    "change",
    {
        field:$("#theDropDownList").find("option:selected").text()
    },
    theFunction
);

```

when `$("#oneElement")` changes, it then calls `theFunction (event) {}` and I would expect to find the selected value from `$("#theDropDownList")` in `event.data.field`.

But `field` is never updated from when I load the webpage even after changing `$("#oneElement")` multiple times.

\*\*EDIT : \*\* `theFunction` looks like

```
function theFunction(event) {
    console.log(event.data.field);
    //do whatever
} 

```

All help welcome !
