Jquery: How to attach an event handler to a different element and event

I have an indepth complicated set of jquery code, which is triggered with

$(basketUpdateTrigger).click(function() {...

What I need to do is trigger the same set of code when $('select').change happens - that is, when the selected option of a dropdoan box is changed.

I looked at .bind() but that just does not seem to answer the problem.

You can manually invoke the click handler when the select element changes:

$("select").on("change", function() {
    $(basketUpdateTrigger).trigger("click");
});

Alternately, you can wrap the logic inside a named function; then assign that function to click and change event handlers.
