onChange alert

[xProteuSx]

I am trying to write a little JavaScript scriptlet, but I need to get this to work in order to figure out what's working and what's not:

 

<select name="category" onChange.alert("yay") >

  <option></option>

  <option value="1">1</option>

  <option value="2">2</option>

</select>

 

Obviously I would like an alert popup that says 'yay' if the user makes a selection from the dropdown ...  thanks.

I thought this would work, but it didn't:

 

<select name="category" onChange="alert("yay");" >

  <option></option>

  <option value="1">1</option>

  <option value="2">2</option>

</select>

... got it to work.  It was being echo'd using PHP so I had to escape the " marks.  Cheers.
