Fire onchange event for TextBox when readonly is true

Question

I am trying to have some functionality on change of a textbox which is readonly. But when I am trying to update the textbox using javascript, the change event is not firing

Answer 1

The change event is triggered by real user events only not javascript actions.

You may trigger the change event, like so:

$('input[id$=_txtTest]').val('hello').change();
