Question

I have a input element that has a keyup event, any number greater than will show a div.

This works if a human types into the textfield. However, how do I achieve the keyup on page load if I am setting the value via JS?

<input id="this_field">

JS on page load:

$('#this_field').val('4'); //Now I want the keyup to be event to be triggered.

I know I can wrap the keyup in a function and call it right after setting the value, however is there a way to trigger the keyup?

Answer 1

Make use of $(document).Ready() and trigger() of jquery .

$(document).ready(function($) {
  $('#this_field').val('4').trigger('keyup'); 
});
