title: Jquery .change() function behaviour
body: <p>I have an input text box that I have wired up with the jquery 'change' function. I want to capture when the text of a text box changes. Currently, with my change function, when the user types in a text value and hits enter, the change event fires. This same text box can also be populated with a text value from a drop down menu elsewhere on the form. When the user selects the option in the drop down, the text value automatically populates the earlier text box value. However, though the value of the text box has changed, the change event doesn't fire. I'm trying to understand why? I need to capture when the value of my text box changes in either situation. I need to find the best solution for this and I'm trying to better understand the behavior of the change function.  Thank you for your help.</p>
