Question

I’m trying to handle change event, but it seems it doesn’t work. I would like to handle the event using jQuery after setting value via document.getElementById('id_of_input').value. Here is the code: http://jsbin.com/axagej (to edit see: http://jsbin.com/axagej/edit) – I would like to see an alert.

If you’re setting the value programatically you need to fire the event yourself using change or trigger:

$("#sample").change();

or

$("#sample").trigger("change");
