I'm using the autoNumeric jQuery plugin. I want to have the .autoNumeric('set', value)
method call the .change()
event automatically.
I have the following code:
$(document).ready(function ($) {
$("#baseCost").change(function() {
var total = ...; // calculation removed for code brevity
$("#totalCost").autoNumeric('set', total);
});
$("#totalCost").change(function() {
// this code does not fire when the set above is called
});
});
How would I accomplish this?
Update: In the autoNumeric.js file, I found this (within set
):
if ($input) {
return $this.val(value);
}
Given that in my case $input is set to true, I don't understand why this .val()
is not firing the .change()
on my page.
I did not realize that
.val()
does not trigger.change()
by default. For my question specifally, the following does the trick in autoNumeric.js:For more information, see this answer.
