Hi, I would like to be able to trigger a function when the value of a hidden field is changed through val() - and I want this event to be attached to the field itself, not to the val() action. As events are only users' triggered a hidden field doesn't trigger onchange natively. I have seen a lot of implementations using various plug-ins for mutation events, but was not very happy about them - they're heavy and I got some errors. Therefore I have added a line at the very end of the val() function:
if(o.nodeName(this,"select")){ ... } else{ this.value=K; // Here's my line: if(this.type=='hidden'){$(this).change()} } } } )} That works fine in IE6, FF and Chrome - haven't tested on other browser. Would it be useful to add this? Thanks! Here's an example: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="_shared/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></ script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(function(){ $("#hiddenField").change(function(e){ alert($(this).val()); }); setTimeout('$("#hiddenField").val("wooloo");',2000); }); </script> </head> <body> <input type="hidden" id="hiddenField" value="BaBna" /><br /> </body> </html> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
