Question

The changeevent is correctly fired when I manually change the <select> value clicking on my user interface, but setting the selected index like this…

this.selectedIndex = 0;

…will not fire the attached event.

Which event should I bind the change to? Is there any workaround besides firing the change event manually? (i.e.: $(this).change(); after setting the selected index.)

Answer 1

You could try triggering it by code:

$(this).trigger('change');
