I have developed a site for a client that uses a profile to capture address and contact information for event registrations using CiviEvent. One of the fields on the registration form is a 'Country' field. There is a requirement from the client to fill in another form field with a default value based upon the Country selected. I have done similar things with jQuery in relation to other fields on the form, but the country field widget is quite complicated and I can't quite figure out how to target the user's selecting a country and get the country value with jQuery. I am sure there must be some code in CiviCRM that does this, in order to display the correct set of state/province fields based upon the country selection. But I have not been able to locate such code. Can anyone give me any pointers in terms of where I can find the CiviCRM code that does this, or sample JS/jQuery code that will detect the country field selection on a profile form? Note that this is on CiviCRM 4.6.2.

Many thanks, -Ian

The select2 is indeed complicated but you don't need to go there. The underlying select element is still there (just hidden) and still fires regular "change" events and you can still get it's value using the ordinary $(element).val() jQuery.
