How to .prop a checkbox and activate the click event?

in Using jQuery • 9 years ago

I have a reset function function with this line:

$('input[type="checkbox"]').prop("checked", true);

It checks all the checkboxes automatically. This works fine. However, I also have a click event on the checkbox. How can I activate this event when I use the line above?

I tried this with a listener, see example code:

$('input[type=checkbox]').change(
function(){
if (this.checked) {
alert('checked');
}
});

But the .prop event does not trigger this listener change event.

How can I loop through each checkbox inside a form, check the box if unchecked, and trigger a click-event connected to the checkbox. To make it more complex... the current onclick event uses a parameter, onClick="toggle('bunnies');"

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you!
