Update calc element after an autofill changes another element

[stephensaid]

Hi,

I have a form with 4 elements:

• title (drop down db join)
• qty
• price (autofill after title changes)
• total (calc element)

total works if I manually change qty or price values but if I change the title, which in turn changes the price, the total does not update.

What should I do please.

Regards
Stephen

Hello, this is the answer... put this code in the button element that fire the event change in the element os___n_da_nota:

document.getElementById('os___n_da_nota').value=12345;
var $test = $('os___n_da_nota');
$test.value = 123;
$test.fireEvent('change');

For more explanations, in examples...

I just committed this change:

https://github.com/Fabrik/fabrik/commit/0078d6741c2d790bb34664f3d444342af3b22ea3

... which should handle this automatically. Before this change, autofill was only firing the 'blur' event for fields it changed, but the calc element watches change events. The plugin should now fire both, so calcs should run automagically.
