Does anyone know if it's possible to trigger an event using JS?

I'm trying to trigger the onChange event of a text field when the code changes the current value contained in the text field. I tought the event might be triggered automatically, but it's not the case.

I tried this and it seemed to work for me in IE and NE - it calls the onchange handler of the text field if that's what you want.

Code: [ Select ]
document.theForm.theTextField.onchange()


You can also do this for IE only:

Code: [ Select ]
document.theForm.theTextField.fireEvent("onchange")
