Question

This is my HTML page

<script>
function set()
{
document.getElementById("txt").value++;
}
</script>
<input id="txt" type="text" onchange="javascript:alert('txt changed');" value="0">
<br/>
<input type="button" onclick="set()" value="Set Data"/>

When I press the button, the text box value is changing, and the onchange event is not firing,
but when I enter value manually in the textbox, it is firing the onchange.

All I want is to call a JavaScript function when data is changed in the textbox when a button is clicked.

Can you help?

Answer 1

you can fire onchange from code using document.getElementById("txt").onchange(); after the changing the value through code

UPDATE

change your set function to take the id of the text box

function set(textboxid)
{
    var tb = document.getElementById(textboxid);
    tb.value++;
    tb.onchange();
}
