Manual trigger of change()

[macstens]

Hi! Following problem:

My DropKick select-list has a change function which is working, but at some point I need to trigger it based on another action. It doesn't seem to be possible (at least at a trivial level) - is there a simple trick I didn't see before I start hacking in the original source code?

Thanks!

If you could provide some sample code, or a JSBin we could help you out a lot easier.

Sure, you are right. Here we go: http://jsbin.com/pohosorusi/1/edit?html,js,output

The basic JS code for this reproduced scenario is at the bottom.

hi macstens. Have you managed to find some workaround for this issue until issue is fixed? I was going to create an issue and found this ticket :)

[macstens]

Unfortunately not... sorry.

Haven't had much time to work on this lately, but we are definitely committed to the 2.1 milestone deadline of January 1st. So expect to see a more elegant solution then.

In the meantime, you could do this:

var dk = new Dropkick( selectElement, {...});

dk.data.settings.change.call( dk );

// or this will just reselect the currently selected option and
// call the change event along with triggering the select's change event.
dk.select( dk.selectedIndex );

The second one is untested, but I don't see why it shouldn't work

If you use the code from the master branch (which you no longer need to include the plugins separately), it should work now.
