  • How do I trigger On text changed when I set input box's text via events?

    When I type in the box, it triggers, but when I set the text via events, it doesn't..

    how do I trigger it?

  • The actions you are running for on text changed event, add them to the set text event.

  • The actions you are running for on text changed event, add them to the set text event.

    No.

    That is not possible in my case.

    I'm looking for a way to trigger the event.

  • Okay, I solved my problem:

    I wanted to press up and down to adjust textbox values for numbers, and when setting the value it wouldn't trigger events.

    I needed to add "this.oninput()" which triggers the on change events.

    using execjs 

    "$(document.getElementById('number')).on('keydown', function(event) { 
 if(event.which==38){
 this.value=parseInt(this.value)+1;
 event.preventDefault();
 this.oninput();
 }else if(event.which==40){
 this.value=parseInt(this.value)-1;
 event.preventDefault();
 this.oninput();
 }
});"

  • actually it doesn't work completely since it gets the id, and only selects one of the elements.

  • okay this works for multiple text inputs with same IDs 

    "$('[id=""number""]').on('keydown', function(event) { 
 if(event.which==38){
 this.value=parseInt(this.value)+1;
 event.preventDefault();
 this.oninput();
 }else if(event.which==40){
 this.value=parseInt(this.value)-1;
 event.preventDefault();
 this.oninput();
 }
});"
