You have a syntax error when creating the new onChange.

Change 

.attr('onChange','onmultipleoptions')

to:

.attr('onChange','onmultipleoptions()')

You could accomplish binding the new event handler using jQuery .change(onmultipleoptions) or .on('change',onmultipleoptions) instead of replacing the attribute
