.change() not working in ie and when changed to .click() same issue
<p>My issue: This code works in firefox chrome and safari but not in IE 8. I had <code>.change</code> but i found out that it does not work in ie so i did <code>.click</code> and tried it again in all the browsers, all is working, try in ie still not working. The anythingSlider is a jquery library im using and i know for sure thats not the issue (going reverse works like selecting the item on the drop down and moving to that slide works everywhere including ie. Thanks. </p>

<p>My code:</p>

<pre><code> $(document).ready(function() {
 $('#skillslist').click(function()
  {var str = $(this).attr('value');
  var pattern = /[0-9]+/g;
  var matches = str.match(pattern);
 var myInteger = parseInt(matches);
 $('#slider').anythingSlider(myInteger);


  });


    });
&lt;/script&gt;

 &lt;select name='myList'  id='skillslist'&gt;
 &lt;option&gt;Subscription Days Remaining: &lt;? echo $days ?&gt;&lt;/option&gt;
 &lt;option id='skill1'&gt;Skill 1: Hand Washing&lt;/option&gt;
 &lt;option id='skill2'&gt;Skill 2: Abdominal Thrust on Conscious Resident&lt;/option&gt;
 &lt;option id='skill3'&gt;Skill 3: Ambulation using a Gait Belt&lt;/option&gt;
 &lt;/select&gt;
</code></pre>
