We've got a select box that's used to navigate to a new page on the "change" event and record some analytics. We want two event handlers to fire, fix lines 14 and 15 so that both of the handlers trigger on "change" rather than just the last function assigned to onchange.
I have no idea what to do.

navigationSelect.onchange = navigateToValue;
navigationSelect.onchange = sendAnalytics;
This would be similar in principle to the code below. a would be assigned to 2, not both 1 and 2
var a;
a = 1;
a = 2;
Instead you need to add callback functions to the on change event with the addEventListener method like so:
navigationSelect.addEventListener('change', navigateToValue);
navigationSelect.addEventListener('change', sendAnalytics);

document.getElementById('id').addEventListener('change', function(){})
