But I want to find a better way using jQuery, can anyone point me to a

Answer 1

using jQuery:

$('#selectEl').bind("change keyup",function()
{
  // set the window's location property to the 
  // value of the option the user has selected
  window.location = $(this).val();
});

works for usual changing of options and arrow keys.

You might be able to use this extension: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/mousewheel Haven't tried it yet. :)

There are also mouse options you can add to bind() there. Go to: api.jquery.com/category/events/mouse-events/ Any function there is a name() for on that page, you can use it's 'name' in bind() above. Just as I did with change()=>'change' and mouseup()=>'mouseup' - easy peasy :)
