jQuery change event being called twice

I have a form with some input and select boxes, each has class="myClass". I also have the following script:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".myClass").change(function() {
        alert('bla');
    })
});

I dont understand why after each change in select box or input box, this function is being called twice. What's wrong here?

Appreciate your help!

All I can think of is that you used the same class on the form itself. if so, remove the myClass style from your form tag.

Faulty one with double alert: http://jsfiddle.net/rY6Gq/

e.stopImmediatePropagation(); is what worked for me.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".myClass").change(function(e) {
        e.stopImmediatePropagation();
        alert('bla');
    })
});

Its a bug, You'd add

$("#some_id").unbind('change');

before any change call
