[jQuery] change not working

in Using jQuery • 9 years ago

Hello.
I have a form where i update some fields if there are info on the
database (autolad of data). Then I have to verify if some data must
been shown if certain conditions happens.
When I change the value of a *select* changes, validations are made
and I have binded that select for changes.
$('#selectId').change(function(){
// validations
});
Happens that when I change that select using jquery it doesn't
validates (but does when user updates the field on the browser).
Any ideas to solve this problem, are very welcome..

Hi Mario,
You can trigger the change event in programatically in jquery after
your update code
...
// update code here
$('#selectId').change();

I can't find any issues with what you have. Please post the validation
part of your code.

Neither I did find troubles.. :P
This is code like I use it. I check the select and then for it's value
check what to do.
switch($('#selectId').val(){
case 1:
// say hello
break;
case 2:
// say good bye
break;
case 3:
case 4:
case 5:
// say what are you doing here?
break;
});
But the problem is not validaton, is that it doesn't get there. I
placed an 'alert', and nothing happened either.. It simply doesn't get
there. (thanks James)
The other thing is that these autoload is an js, that is used by other
autoload in other process (that i have nothing to do), and so, I
cannot change it (Thanks David Andrews).
This it migth be a bug or an expected behavior?
