trigger onchange

Is it possible to trigger the onchange event programmatically? I'm changing the value of input with JS and onchange doesn't trigger.

Thanks!

You can do it by calling it as an object method..

eg:

Code: Select all

var formInput = document.getElementById('input');

formInput.onchange();

Ok, I didn't mention that I'm using this event to fire a xajax function that updates some values on my form. The formInput.onchange() is called from another window and now I'm getting an error:

Error: responseReceived: NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE: Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIXMLHttpRequest.status]

but only in FF, IE works great. Any hints?
