$('a').trigger('click'); not working

Question

How do I make jquery click test

Answer 1

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();
});
