I cannot pass this code challenge, I cant understand why. I am using the 'change' event on the <select> element.
//Select select box
var navigationSelect = document.getElementById("nav");
//Navigate to URL when select box is changed
var navigateToValue = function() {
window.location = this.value;
}
//Send analytics data
var sendAnalytics = function() {
//Placeholder
}
navigationSelect.addEventListener('change', 'navigateToValue');
navigationSelect.addEventListener('change', 'sendAnalytics');

The second argument to addEventListener should be a callback function, but you've enclosed the function name in quotes which makes it an ordinary string.
Remove the quotes to pass the callback function by name.
