JQuery detecting Programatic change event

Question

If i do jQuery(expr).change( function), then I can get an event function to fire when the user makes a change to the value.

Is it possible to get this to fire if it\

Answer 1

jQuery v1+ supports the programmatic triggering of handlers - I have used this method as opposed to the .change() method as it allows for multiple other handlers to be fired if needed (e.g. some custom handlers). API Documentation is at: http://api.jquery.com/trigger/
