how to trigger .change() event when chg is NOT triggered by user...
hi,
I'm finding that a .change() event on a typical dropdown does not get triggered if the change() occurs as a result of programming, instead of user input.. what is the solution?
I have a situation that is fairly typical, I assume...
#countries has list of countries... if I change to a country that doesn't have any states then the #states dropdown becomes empty.. (this is already working fine, and I can't tinker with this...)
what I need: if the #states dropdown becomes empty as a result of a country w/o states having been chosen in #countries dropdown, I need to remove the '*' from label "State"...
how can I do this, please...
triggering this with a change() event grab for #states dropdown does not do it... this event does not triggered because, I think, the change on this #states dropdown is not done by a user, but by the program..
thank you..
