The Onchange Event is Not Fireing for My Input Tag

[Steve Dyke]

I have an input tag that is readonly and an onclick method that requests a calendar form. When the user click a date the input tag value changes to the selected date. I also have an onchange method that I need to fire to make an ajax request. This onchange event is not fireing.

As the user cannot change the value of a read-only field, a change event can never trigger.

Thanks Bear. I figured it was something like that. I will have to figure out another solution.

onchange does not fire when JavaScript sets the value.

Doesn't the calendar have a callback method or an event it triggers?

Yes, I figured out that I can just call the method I need at the calendar click event.
