I want to fire the JQuery change event when the input text is changed programmatically, for example like this:

$(input).change(function(){

    console.log(Input text changed!);

});

$(input).val(A);

<script src=https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js></script>

<input type='text' />

But it doesn't work. How can I make this work?

change event only fires when the user types into the input and then loses focus.

You need to trigger the event manually using change() or trigger('change')

$(input).change(function() {

  console.log(Input text changed!);

});

$(input).val(A).change();

<script src=https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js></script>

<input type='text' />
