Answer 1

The problem with your code is that you are applying a click event to the input and also to the div enclosing the button, but not to the actual button.

if you change your fiddle to this

  
      
Upload

and

$("#test1 button").trigger('click');

then the click trigger will be applied to the button. Alternatively give your button an ID and fo

$("#buttonid").trigger('click');
