Error when switching jQuery 1.3.2 → 1.4.4

I am using JavaScript to make a custom select/custom drop-down that perfectly worked using jQuery 1.3.2, but I get one error in 1.4.4. I want to use it if some one can give some idea on that would be really help full.

Error (this.change[x].call) is not function.

The function itself is now stored in the .handler property, so you'll need to change this:

if ( events ) for ( var handler in events ) this.change.push( events[handler] );

To this:

if ( events ) for ( var handler in events ) this.change.push( events[handler].handler );

You can see the working version here.

No error noted for jquery 1.4.4 - jsfiddle test here, may be you have some other libraries joined that spoil the result? Tested in Chrome and Firefox
