title: jQuery textbox.val('xxxx') not causing change to fire?
body: <p>I have the following jQuery code in place on my page:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var isChanged = false;
  $(document).ready(function()
  {
      $('.change').change(function() {
          isChanged = true;
      });
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am using a plugic that modifies the value of the text box it is linked to using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>target.val('xxxx');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the text box in the html (from asp.net) is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input name="ctl00$cphHolder1$rptFlex$ctl01$txtLeftRank"
    type="text"
    value="52°"
    id="ctl00_cphHolder1_rptFlex_ctl01_txtLeftRank"
    class="change atiselector" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When the value of the text box is changed using code, the change is not firing. If I type in the text box, the change fires. What am I missing?</p>
