Question

I am having an issue trying to trigger the test() function when updating the input of type text “testName” using the DOM. Does it have something to do with the DOM itself? It works when I am directly clicking on the input of type text and modify it, but not when another JS function access it through DOM to modify it.

document.getElementById(‘testID’).value = “test”;

Thank you

If you need to trigger the onchange event your code has to be like shown below

document.getElementById('testID').value = "test";
document.getElementById('testID').onchange();

Hope this solves your problem.
