Fire oninput event with jQuery

Question

I have an oninput event on a textarea to check the height and resize it. Now I need to edit the value sometimes. I do this just by editting the val() in jQuery, but that doe

Answer 1

You can simply invoke it, e.g.:

$("input")[0].oninput = function () {
   alert("hello"); 
};

$("input")[0].oninput();

...but as @Sammaye points out, jQuery has no explicit "oninput" handler, so you'll have to use POJS.
