Cant bind comboBox to change event using MVVM

[Jay]

I have a combobox who's html source is below.  When I try to bind my viewModel using MVVM, the following message is displayed: "change binding is not supported by the select element".  The funny thing is that this works fine on the 1012.1.229 beta, but does not work when I switch to 2012.1.335 commercial release.  Can anyone help with this?

HTML Code:
<select id="tePriority" class="tePriority editControl autoCommit" data-bind="change: onPriorityChange">
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="phPriority" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder></select>

Hello Jay,

In order to bind the select's change event, you should use the events binding.

ok, I changed the code as seen below, and I still get the same error message.

<select id="tePriority" class="tePriority editControl autoCommit" data-bind="events: { change: onPriorityChange }">

<asp:PlaceHolder ID="phPriority" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder></select>

Hello Jay,

I'm afraid that I'm unable to observe such behavior locally. Please check the following jsFiddle for more details:
