On form Change, get input ID

I want to track when a form changes, so I can do something based on the ID of the input that changed.

Currently, I am using this:

    $( "#search" ).change(function() {
        console.log('form has changed');
    });

Really, I want to know WHICH input within that form changed. $(this.id) seems to get the form id "search" but is there a way to access the input id (without binding an change event to each input)

You can get the input element using the event object

$("#search").change(function (e) {
    console.log('form has changed', e.target.id);
});

Another solution is to bind the handler to the input elements itself like

$("#search :input").change(function (e) {
    console.log('form has changed', this.id);
});
