When I bind a function to a checkbox element like:

$("#myCheckbox").click( function() {
    alert($(this).is(":checked"));
});

The checkbox changes it checked attribute before the event is triggered, it's it normal behavior, thus giving and inverse result.

However, when I do:

$("#myCheckbox").click();

The checkbox changes it checked attribute after the event is triggered.

My question is, is there a way to trigger the click event from jquery like a normal click would do (first scenario)?

PS: I've already tried with trigger('click');
