How do I make jquery click test
<script>
// this wont work
$('#mylink').trigger('click');
</script>
Please can you help
If your intention is to navigate to the specified URL as if the user had clicked the link try calling the DOM .click() method instead of the jQuery .click() method:
$('#mylink')[0].click();
The jQuery .click() will call event handlers that you've bound but not cause the default click behaviour.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#mylink').trigger('click');
});
You need to trigger the default click method, not the one by jQuery. This can be done by adding the default click option within a click event of jQuery using this.
This is how the JavaScript looks. It basically creates the event when the DOM is ready, and clicks it intermediately, thus following the link.
$(function() {
$('a').click(function() {
// 'this' is not a jQuery object, so it will use
// the default click() function
this.click();
}).click();
});
To see a live example (opening about.com), see: http://jsfiddle.net/8H9UX/
You need to wait until the DOM has finished loading. This can be done with jQuery. The anonymous function is run at page load once all the elements are available in the DOM.
<script>
$(function() {
$('#mylink').trigger('click');
});
</script>
Just click:
$("#mylink").click();
If your scripts are in the head then you need to ensure that the element exists, so the script should be executed when document is ready.
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#mylink").click();
});
try this
setTimeout(() => {
$("#mylink")[0].click();
}, 500);
If you are expecting the file to get downloaded, it will not happen becauer trigger() will not trigger the default event.
document.getElementById('mylink').click();
trigger('click') will fire the click event but not the default one.
$('a').click(function(){ alert('triggered') }) // this will be fired by trigger
use the following way.... since you want to download the file prevent the link from navigating.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#mylink').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); //stop the browser navigating
window.location.href = 'test.zip';
});
});
your above code will not work because you have assigned value in href and then you want some operation onclick of this anchor tag.
test
first of all you have assigned .zip to href. So it will open zip file onclick first and will not trigger any other operation in onclick trigger.
so whatever operation you want to do , perform it first then open .zip
use code like below
test
$('#mylink').click(function(){
// do your operation here
// now open zip
});

I'm kind of stuck and need some help. I've got the following code that I can get to work in a test document, but once it gets on my test server, it loads as it's supposed to, but then the fadeOut click doesn't work.
/* -- Show SignUp -- */
$(document).ready(function() {
function showBox() {
$("#box").fadeIn(500).removeClass('hidden');
};
setTimeout(showBox, 3000);
});
/* -- Hide SignUp -- */
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#close").click(function(){
$("#box").fadeOut(500);
});
});
You should use preventDefault:If this method is called, the default action of the event will not be triggered.
$("#close").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$("#box").fadeOut(500);
});
Documentation: https://api.jquery.com/event.preventdefault/
From your code I see that event handler had been installed earlier, than element appeared on that page, so in this case it's necessary to use .live-type event handlers (to have it worked for all elements which will appear now or in the future).
Try to use following code:
$(document).on("click", "#close", function() {
$("#box").fadeOut(500);
});
From documentation: As of jQuery 1.7, the .live() method is deprecated. Use .on() to attach event handlers.
I want to initiate a plugin only if clicked on its parent element (because that element is being appended with jQuery so it does not exist when page loads), So I am trying following code:
$(document).on('click', '.wrap', function(){
ColorPicker(
document.getElementById('slider'),
document.getElementById('picker'),
function(hex, hsv, rgb) {
});
});
This works fine, but every time I click on the .wrap, it duplicates (please check the demo to see the problem). Is there anyway to fix it?

(Click in the box to see the problem)
Thanks.
Rather than using on() to trigger this event every time the element is clicked, simply use jQuery's one() method to only fire it once:
$(document).one('click', '.wrap', function(){ ... });
ColorPicker will then take over from there with handling its own events.
JSFiddle demo.
You may use one instead
$(document).one('click', '.wrap', function(){
//...
});
This is my test code:
describe("Login", function(){
beforeEach(function(){
loadFixtures('login-fixture.html');
})
it("should enable the button when checking 'remember password'", function(){
$('#remember').trigger('click');
expect($('#keepIn')).not.toBeDisabled();
});
});
And this is my production code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#remember').click(function(e) {
if($('#remember').is(':checked'))
{
$('#keepIn').removeAttr('disabled');
}
});
});
This is not working, the production code never gets called. I have put alerts before and after the trigger event and after the trigger the checkbox is checked, but the .click function does not get called.
Any thoughts on why is this happening?
Without seeing the rest of the code, I'm assuming the "login-fixture.html" contains the "#remember" checkbox. If so, it's loading after the DOM loads. Meaning that the 'click' event you want assigned will only apply to previously loaded elements. The jQuery on() event will assign any event you want to newly loaded elements. You might want to try adding a on() event to that id. Something like:
$(function(){
$('#remember').on('click', function(){
if($('#remember').is(':checked')){
$('#keepIn').checkboxradio('enable');
}
});
});
Hope that helps.

I have a link with an inline onclick event:
click
I registered an additional function on the onclick event:
jQuery("#addMoreOptions").live('click',function(){
console.log('clicked');
});
Which works fine when I click on the link on the browser, but not when I simulate programmatically:
jQuery("#addMoreOptions").click();
The programatical version triggers the inline event but not the "live" one.
When you have multiple functions attached to an event, what order does it use?
I am pretty sure this is caused by the order of things happening.
If you look at this live example you'll see everything works as expected. This is because the event is registered, and then called. The code looks like:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#addMoreOptions").live('click',function(){
console.log('clicked');
});
$('#addMoreOptions').click();
});
function somefunction()
{
alert("clicked");
}
When the page loads, you get an alert and a console.log.
Now with the very small change of putting the $('#addMoreOptions').click(); before registering the event as in this live example you only get the alert from the inline function.
For reference the code is
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
$('#addMoreOptions').click();
jQuery("#addMoreOptions").live('click',function(){
console.log('clicked');
});
});
function somefunction()
{
alert("clicked");
}
An alternative way of triggering a click event would be to use the .trigger() function:
jQuery('#addMoreOptions').trigger('click');
I am currently having trouble with the following (here is some sample code first):
<div id="container"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#container').load('content.html');
$('.elementInContentHTML').fadeIn();
</script>
In short, I want to be able to access elements that have been dynamically added to a page without attaching them to event handlers.
I know about the live() method, but I do not want to bind my action to any event, i.e. I just want to run some actions with these new elements without clicking them, focusing, blurring, etc.
The load function is asynchronous.
Your next line runs before the content is loaded.
You need to put your code inside the load function's callback, so that it will only run after the new content is loaded:
$('#container').load('content.html', function() {
$('.elementInContentHTML').fadeIn();
});
You could try using the callback for when load completes? See http://api.jquery.com/load/
$('#result').load('ajax/test.html', function() {
alert('Load was performed.');
});
