Trigger change event <select> using jquery

Question

is there anyway i could trigger a change event on select box on page load and select a particular option.

Also the function executed by adding the trigger after bin

Answer 1

Use val() to change to the value (not the text) and trigger() to manually fire the event.

The change event handler must be declared before the trigger.

Here's a sample

$('.check').change(function(){
  var data= $(this).val();
  alert(data);            
});

$('.check')
    .val('two')
    .trigger('change');
