The click handler for a checkbox is called before the checked property is updated when triggering the click event with trigger()

[[email protected]…]

Given a check-box and a click handler bound to it, if we use trigger('click') on that checkbox, the click handler will be called BEFORE the checked property is updated.

The jsFiddle is here: ​http://jsfiddle.net/H7qry/2/

Now, you could say that this is inevitable if you trigger the click event programmatically. However, if we use the built-in click() method to trigger the event, then this issue is NOT PRESENT.

The correct event to listen for changes in the state of a checkbox is "change"... not click.

@rwaldon The comment here is about triggering events not listening for them.
