Clicking on one button to trigger click event on another

Question

I want to click on button 2 to trigger a click event on button 1.

However, when I try the following, nothing happens when clicking on #2: no alert for #1 or #2.

Answer 1

When you need to call click event of any button then syntax is as below

$('selector').trigger(event);

selector -> which tag's event you need to fire

event -> which event you need to fire

In your case you need to change following one line

$('#button-1').trigger(e);

here you need pass event of e like click event, select event, etc.

so solution is replace this line with any of the following line

$('#button-1').trigger(e.type); 

$('#button-1').trigger("click");
