Trigger the event when selected the same value in dropdown?

Question

Issue: I have a dropdown with a list of years in it with nothing selected, the user selects \"1976\", I run a function. If the user clicks on the dropdown again and selects

Answer 1

The closest functionality that you're seeking that I can think of is the following:

-HTML-

    
    1976

-jQuery-

$(document).ready(function(){

    $('.opt-evt').change(function(){
        $(this).blur();
    }).blur(function(){
        console.log($(this).find('option:selected').val());
    });

});

The caveat is that if the user selects '1976' again, the desired event only gets fired onBlur.
