Odd problem with jQuery .change() event

I have the following select element with an onchange event.

<select name="ftest" onchange="alert('test');">
  <option value="0"></option>
  <option value="test">test</option>
</select>

I later bind another event on all the select elements in the page using jQuery (1.4.4).

   $("SELECT").change(function(){
    _isDirty = true;
   });

The result is my alert showing up twice when I change the value of my select list.

Anyone has an idea why this is happening or have a way to fix this?

Thanks

I believe, that jQuery adds handlers, not replaces them. So for the above, you'd get one for your onchange attribute in the SELECT element, and another for the addition that jQuery makes.

This is a known bug with IE and jQuery, due to the way they simulate bubbling for change in IE. Unfortunately, there isn't a clean work-around at the moment, besides removing the inline onchange handler.
