Invoking Value Change Event via JS on TextBox

[pragati]

I have a requirement where via javascript, a value is copied into the GWT TextBox widget
and the Value Change Event should get fired so that i know i have to do something.

Is there a way to achieve this?
It works via JSNI, which actually does a call to TextBox.setValue(value, true)
But i dont intend to provide an JSNI but achieve it with an JS written to invoke this event on the GWT TextBox widget.

Thanks

The easiest, in pure JS, would be to simply dispatch a 'change' event on the <input>.
