Here is an updated example of what I’m trying to do:
http://jsfiddle.net/baragon23/pw893ycj/22/
I have multiple dropdowns such as this one on many pages throughout the application. Each page has a form which saves the data to the database. I cannot just simply create a jquery bind for every dropdown throughout the site.
The issue is that the user will not always use their mouse to make a selection. They will use the keyboard sometimes and then when the form is saved, the drop down fields will not receive the updated value because the subscribe function was never fired.
