Change Event Fires Multiple time

[johnwswar]

When an user changes the value in a class="change_dropdown" the ajax fires multiple times. How can I resolve this?

When I use the debugger, it first displays change_dropdown="" first then after 3th time, it sends the correct value.

$('.change_dropdown).change(function(e) {

var id = $(this).closest('tr').attr('id');
var dt = new Date();
var time = dt.getHours() + ":" + dt.getMinutes() + ":" + dt.getSeconds();

$.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "update_data.cfm", data: {id:id}, success: function (response) {
},

      error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
        $("#last_updated").text("Current Update NOT Successful on "+time)
        alert(thrownError);         
      },
        cache: false          
       });

});

Sounds like a dup of #268 - probably want to check the solution shown in #269
