ng-change doesn't get the $event argument

[edriang]

When you attach a listener to a radio button with ng-change yout can't pass an $event argument.

If I change ng-change to ng-click it does the trick, but it will be better if $event is available for the different event-listeners defined by angular directives

ng-change is not a directive for handling the change event (I realize that this is confusing given the name), but is actually instead notified when ngModelController.$setViewValue() is called and the value changes (because ng-change adds a listener to the $viewChangeListeners collection). So this is as expected.

So sorry to resurrect this @caitp , but could you point me in the right direction if I wanted to handle (and possibly preventDefault) a change event? Specifically thinking about a <select>

[caitp]

use jQuery#on() or jqLite#on() to bind event listeners, and call preventDefault() if you need to
