Hello, D.I.C heads. I'm hoping you can help me with a slightly nooby bit of code, that I can't seem to get to work.

Here's my stage:

• $.cookie (plug-in)
  
• $('#effects') (checkbox)
  
• init_options (function)

Now, take a look at this slightly messy code:

function init_options()
{
	var $init_val = $.cookie('effects') ? $.cookie('effects') : "true";

	$("#effects")
		.attr("checked", $init_val)
                .trigger("change");
}
$(function()
{
	init_options();
	$("#effects").bind("change", function()
	{
		alert("CHANGED")
		$.fx.off = !$("#effects").attr("checked");
		$.cookie('effects', !$("#effects").attr("checked"));
	});
});

When I click my checkbox ($('#effects')), I get the "CHANGED" alert, however when I call the trigger("change") function, I get no alert?

I previously tried to use the trigger function, and I gave up. I could not get it to work, regardless of trying many different methods.

I hope you can help,
Thanks for any help - always appreciated!

Try moving the call to init_options() after the bind call, like so:

function init_options()
{
    var $init_val = $.cookie('effects') ? $.cookie('effects') : "true";

    $("#effects")
        .attr("checked", $init_val)
                .trigger("change");
}
$(function()
{
    $("#effects").bind("change", function()
    {
        alert("CHANGED")
        $.fx.off = !$("#effects").attr("checked");
        $.cookie('effects', !$("#effects").attr("checked"));
    });

    init_options();
});

If it works, don't ask me how... I assume it is a result of triggering the event before the Javascript compiler has bound your custom function to the object, but I can't say for certain.
