this is the DOM element on which the event was hooked  this id is its ID  No need to wrap it in a jQuery instance to get it  the id property reflects the attribute reliably on all browsers      select   change function             alert  Changed      this id       Live example  You re not doing this in your code sample  but if you were watching a container with several form elements  that would give you the ID of the container  If you want the ID of the element that triggered the event  you could get that from the event object s target property       container   change function event        alert  Field     event target id     changed          Live example   jQuery ensures that the change event bubbles  even on IE where it doesn t natively
