programmatically trigger click event in svg rect element

Question

How to programmatically trigger click event in svg rectangle element element? like :$(\"#targetElm\").triger(\"click\");

Answer 1

How about this

document.getElementById("targetElm").dispatchEvent(new Event('click'));

Here's a working example...

document.getElementById("targetElm").dispatchEvent(new Event('click'));

i.e. create a click event and dispatch it to the element. Although you don't seem to have any handler for the click event in your question.
