Changing .prop using jQuery does not trigger .change event

Question

I\'ve got an event listener on a checkbox:

My event listener:

$(\'input[         


        

Answer 1

Change event is fired when the value is changed by users interaction on page and not when value is modified using code.

Here you need to use .change() or .trigger("change") after changing the property:

$('input[type="checkbox"][name="something"]').prop("checked", false).change();
