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

To select an option, use .val('value-of-the-option') on the select element. To trigger the change element, use .change() or .trigger('change').

The problems in your code are the comma instead of the dot in $('.check'),trigger('change'); and the fact that you call it before binding the event handler.
