It seems that jQuery's trigger() only runs event handlers that were bound with jQuery. I have some modules that use native browser event binding. Using the code from https://stackoverflow.com/a/2676527 works for me, but I'm wondering if there's something built in to jQuery that will do this?
Update from comments: apparently it works for click events on buttons. But not for change events on select boxes: http://jsfiddle.net/qxpXV/2/
For the record: hacking the other library to do its bindings with jQuery does make trigger() work, but I don't really want to do that.

The trigger() method triggers the specified event and the default behavior of an event (like form submission) for the selected elements. This method is similar to the triggerHandler() method, except that triggerHandler() does not trigger the default behavior of the event.
If you want native JS to trigger click event without clicking then use the element id and click() method of JavaScript.
bind() method is used for attaching an event handler directly to elements. Handlers are attached to the currently selected elements in the jQuery object, so those elements must exist at the point the call to . bind() occurs.
A triggering event is a tangible or intangible barrier or occurrence which, once breached or met, causes another event to occur. Triggering events include job loss, retirement, or death, and are typical for many types of contracts.
You can do this by manually firing/dispatching an event (depending on the browser, fireEvent/dispatchEvent) directly on the DOM element. Code from this answer will handle the event dispatching, you'll just need to execute it against a DOM element and not the jQuery wrapper.
