Simulating click event on input - JavaScript

Question

I\'m trying to simulate a click on an input tag, through the click on an anchor tag, this way I can hide the input and wrap an image inside the anchor tag.

Answer 1

document.getElementById('user_avatar').click() will work

let fake = document.querySelector('.fake');
fake.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  document.getElementById('user_avatar').click()
})

#user_avatar {
  display: none;
}
