I want to fire an onChange event for hidden field, Most of the forums I've read suggests that onChange doesn't work for hidden fields, So is there a way around for that, something like Plan-B?

In jQuery, you could trigger a custom event:
$("#hidden_input_id").trigger("special-change");
And you can listen with:
$("#hidden_input_id").on("special-change", function () {
});

.trigger(): http://api.jquery.com/trigger/

1You can also trigger regular change event this way `$("#hidden_input_id").trigger("change");` and then regular `onChange` will trigger. Or using plain JS http://stackoverflow.com/a/1003155/758991 – Ruslan Stelmachenko May 05 '16 at 13:06
