Apply a filter from a Date Filter web part that was set with JS/JQuery

Question

I have a Date Filter web part that is connected to a list. I can set the content of the filter with jQuery, but how can I get the filter to apply itself when I set the value this way?

Normally you just enter a date and it applies automatically.

Answer 1

When you change the value yourself (with a mouse click) you send a click event.

So you have to do that click event with code

<option> does not have a click event handler, you have to click on the <select>

$([filterelement]).click()
