How to trigger event in JavaScript?

Question

I have attached an event to a text box using addEventListener. It works fine. My problem arose when I wanted to trigger the event programmatically from another

Answer 1

Just to suggest an alternative that does not involve the need to manually invoke a listener event:

Whatever your event listener does, move it into a function and call that function from the event listener.

Then, you can also call that function anywhere else that you need to accomplish the same thing that the event does when it fires.

I find this less "code intensive" and easier to read.
