Question

I am trying to Implement an New AutoComplete Control. I have an textbox $("#Code"). When the values has been selected from the table I am assigning the selected value using

$("#Code").val(selectedValue); 

Since I have to check the validation for the same I am trying to get the change event of the text box $("#Code"). The same is firing when I keypress on the textbox but the change event not firing when I assign using $.val() function.

I have tried the following.

Entity="#Code"; //for example

 $(Entity).keypress(function (event) {
   firing on keypress.. // ok.. No Problem
 });

 $(Entity).keydown(function (event) {
   firing on keydown.. // ok.. No Problem
 });

 $(Entity).bind('input',function() {
   firing on keypress.. // ok.. No Problem
 });

 $(Entity).change(function (event) {
   firing on keypress.. // ok.. No Problem
 });

Could anyone please help how to detect the event of val()?

You can call change method explicitly

$("#ID").val("hi").change();

Thanks
