select change event is triggering multiple times
<p>Very strange thing is happening with the 'change' event of the dropdown list.</p>

<p>Basically I have a dropdown, on change of which i have to do some cross domain web service  call. This call is being made from the javascript itself. </p>

<p>For the first time when i change an item in the 'select' list the change event is triggered only once. Next time twice and it grows like this. </p>

<p>Any clue why is it behaving like this?</p>

<p>If code needed for reference i can share. But its a simple 'select' list and 'change' event handler there.</p>

<pre><code>$("#ArtifactSort &gt; select").change(function() {        

    var rankField= "";
    rankField = $("#ArtifactSort &gt; select option:selected").text();

    alert('within select change event artifact: '+ rankField );

    //Making the text little lighter and showing the loading icon.
    //$("#ArtifactPetalContentUL").css("filter", "alpha(opacity: 30)");
    $loadingIconForArtifact = addLoadingIcon("ArtifactPetalContentUL", "Artifact");

    var refinedStoresLocal= new Array();
    for (var storeIndex in _searchResponseForArtifact.searchResult.searchRequestProcessed.stores) {
        refinedStoresLocal.push(_searchResponseForArtifact.searchResult.searchRequestProcessed.stores[storeIndex].name);
    }

    var refinedFiltersLocal = new Array();
    for (var filterIndex in _searchResponseForArtifact.searchResult.searchRequestProcessed.filters) {
        refinedFiltersLocal.push(_searchResponseForArtifact.searchResult.searchRequestProcessed.filters[filterIndex]);
    }

    //rankfield.
    var rankLocal=new Array();
    rankLocal.push(new RankingField(rankField, 1, 0));
    //Request object and WS Call.
    var _searchRequestForArtifactLocal = getArtifactSearchRequestObject(_queryStringLocal, _memberId, _communityId, _pageNumber, _pageSize, propertiesForArtifact, refinedStoresLocal, ClassificationClusteringObjectsForArtifact, refinedFiltersLocal, rankLocal);
    getSearchResponse("successcallForArtifact", _searchRequestForArtifactLocal);
});
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks
