I have a selectbox where each option has an attribute &quot;val&quot; and on the selects change event I grab the value of the &quot;val&quot; attr and set the value of another element (a textbox) with that.<br />
&lt;option value=&quot;1&quot; val=&quot;x2&quot;&gt;One<br />
&lt;option value=&quot;2&quot; val=&quot;z6&quot;&gt;Two<br />
so onchange then a textboxs value will = z6 if option Two is selected<br />
problem:<br />
i've incorporated a lookup box for the selectbox - when i type then a match is selected<br />
but that of course doesnt trigger the jquery change function for the selectbox<br />
how should i go about this?<br />
how can i trigger the change function?<br />
<br />
thanks

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.
