[jQuery] Fire events programmatically

[Huub]

Sometimes it's needed to create an event programmatically. (Which is
different from running an event function (triggering)

This can be done by the following fire code

var el=document.getElementById("ID1")

fire(el,'change')


   function fire(evttype) {
       if (document.createEvent) {
         var evt = document.createEvent('HTMLEvents');
         evt.initEvent( evttype, false, false);
         el.dispatchEvent(evt);
       } else if (document.createEventObject) {
         el.fireEvent('on' + evttype);
       }
   }
looks like this trick is not yet in jQuery, perhaps for a reason?
