Find out if html form has changed

Question

Using jquery I\'ve added a change handler to a form. This works when any input is changed BUT only if the user manually changes an input and not when some other code changes

Answer 1

Not in a regular way.

You can change with input and then trigger the change event.

$('#inputId').val('foo').trigger('change');

or with this:

$('#inputId').val('foo').change();
