Simulate a focus() and blur() but actually using a val() in jQuery

Question

Hi there, I'm trying to pass a value to an input box via json. I've been using:

$.getJSON(('somedata.json', function(json){    
    $('#myinput').val(json.values);
});

Works fine. But I needed it to look as if someone focused the input box, typed the json.values inside and then blurred it, because my input box does all sorts of stuff afterwards. Is it possible to do this via script?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly, but for simulating focus and blur, this is as close you'll get:

$.getJSON(('somedata.json', function(json){    
    $('#myinput').focus().val(json.values).blur();
});

Answer 2

Your question is unclear.

If you want to run the code that's in the focus and blur events, you can trigger the events like this:

$.getJSON(('somedata.json', function(json){    
    $('#myinput').focus().val(json.values).blur();
});
