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

I believe that for some security reason, the events are not fired. But you can achieve this by triggering the specific event on that element. E.g. $('input[id$=_txtTest]').trigger('change');

I hope this helps someone.
