Update Trigger MSSQL - SQL Server

Question

On update of table in MSSQL i want to perform a certain task.

Now i have update trigger in place for the required table and my task(script) runs when a record is updated.

Now when user saves an existing record from web, my update trigger executes the task i have written. But when the user saves from the web page without modifying any record that time the update trigger would not work, as no records are modified.

I would want to trigger my script even if no record is modified. How can i do it?

I think you have to use a INSTEAD OF UPDATE trigger. By default triggers AFTER UPDATE. But then you have to set the update statement inside the trigger. For more information,
