MooTools - Programmatically fired events not working with event delegation
- by Anurag
Would really appreciate if anyone can help me figure out why I am unable to fire events programmatically when using event delegation in MooTools (from the Element.Delegation class).
There is a parent <div> that has a change listener on some child <input> elements. When the change event is triggered by user actions, the handler on the parent div gets triggered, but when I fire it programmatically with fireEvent on any child input, nothing happens. The basic setup is:
html
<div id="listener">
<input type="text" id="color" class="color" />
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????</div>???????????
js
$("listener").addEvent("change:relay(.color)", function() {
alert("changed!!");
});
$("color").fireEvent("change"); // nothing happens
The event handler on the parent div does not get called. Any help is appreciated. Cheers!
