jQuery not working ( no error ) in custom widget

Thanks for the plugin.

I created a little plugin that exposes a widget that I am trying to load into my page builder post. The widget form uses ajax to load additional options. The ajax works great on the Widgets page, but when I try to add the widget to the page builder page, it doesn’t work. I know I am doing it wrong, but would appreciate your help.

Things I’ve observed / tried.

The jquery does load, and when I just put an alert at the top, it fires.
When I try to react to an event, the listener doesn’t pick up on it.
No errors in the console.
My form is a bunch of select boxes with classes.

So, this is sort of what I am trying to do.

function form( $instance ) {
?>

<select class="my-awesome-widget-box-1"><option /><option /><option /></select>
<?php
}
function form_js(){
?>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
 alert( 'here' );  // works on page load
jQuery('.my-awesome-widget-box-1').on( 'change', function() {
  alert( 'CHANGED' );  // never fires
});
jQuery('.my-awesome-widget-box-1').bind( 'change', function() {
  alert( 'CHANGED' );  // never fires
});
jQuery('.my-awesome-widget-box-1').change( function() {
  alert( 'CHANGED' );  // never fires
});
});
</script>
<?php
}

Sorry for the terse code, I didn’t want to load the entire plugin here, but let me know if you need to see more.
