I'm completely lost. I triple checked my code. Am I overlooking something?
//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;

target.addEventListener(type, listener);
