Infinite loop in jQuery

Question

I have a problem with jQuery, for some reason, that code makes infinite loop:

$(document).ready(function () {
    function changeURL() {
        location.href = 'http://aaa.com';
    }

    $('#daysLeftSort').change(changeURL());
});

When assigning an event handler, assign the function reference directly, not the result of the function, so leave off the () (which calls the function immediately...reloading the page), like this:

$('#daysLeftSort').change(changeURL);
