Fire change() event even when selection hasn't changed

Question

I want to override the general behavior of an HTML select element by making it fire the change event even when the selected option hasn't changed.

$('select').change(function() {
  alert($(this).val());
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select>
  <option value="1">1</option>
  <option value="2">2</option>
  <option value="3">3</option>
</select>

How can i achieve this?

i want the change event handler below to be fired even when the same option is selected — pavan kumar, Feb 27 '17 at 11:34
store the value on the first selection, compare the old value with the new value in new selection — Lucas, Feb 27 '17 at 11:35
@I'mBlueDaBaDee to store or do something the event handler should fire to start with when the same option is selected — pavan kumar, Feb 27 '17 at 11:41

You can try like this:-

HTML :

<select>
    <option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="2">2</option>
    <option value="3">3</option>
</select>

JS :

$("select").mouseup(function() {
    var flag = $(this).data("flag");
        var cur_val = $(this).val();
    if(flag) {
        alert(cur_val);
    }
    $(this).data("flag", !flag);
});

Here is working jsfiddle.

Give it a try, this should work.

@rahul_m though i'm still looking for a much standard solution – pavan kumar Feb 28 '17 at 04:25
There is no such event or standard solution you will get as pure jquery event or something – Rahul Feb 28 '17 at 04:29
