Question

This event is attached to a set of elements:

var elems = $(this).filter(function(){
  ...
});

How can I trigger a change event on these elements within a change event handler, but ignore the current element?

elems.bind('change input', function(){

  // do some stuff...

  // then trigger change, but not on "this", to avoid the recursion issue
  elems.change(); 

});

Basically I want ot ignore this from elems, but only in my “manual” change()-call above…

Answer 1

var elems = $(this).filter(function(){
  ...
});

elems.bind('change input', function(){


  // then trigger change, but not on "this", to avoid the recursion issue
  elems.not(this).change(); 

});

Though I must say, this scenario looks like a poor design issue.
When element get changed it sets a change event callback to some elements including him self… sound awkward and that recursion is just a symptom to other bigger problem…

It probably can be done in a a lot cleaner way then this.
