dilemma with on change event dropdown

Hello so here is what I am doing :

  $("#categorys").change(function () {
//$(document).on('click', '#categorys', function(){ 
        alert('changed or clicked');     
 });

when I use the .change nothing happens, no errors on the js debugger, when I use the on click event for the same dropdown it returns the alert. I would to be able to alert(this.val) once the dropdown value changes please help

It's because you use event delegation for your click event, you need to do the same for change event:

$(document).on('change', '#categorys', function(){ 
    alert('changed or clicked');     
});

Btw, this behavior only happens when your select has been added dynamically.

I used this to solve the matter: 

$(document).on('change', '#categorys', function(){ 
        alert($(this).val());     


    });
