How to run a callback function on a jQuery trigger(“click”)?

Question

I need to trigger a custom event in the callback of a trigger call, but I can\'t get it to work.

I tried this:

var $input = $( \".ui-pop         


        

Answer 1

First you need to bind the click event and then you can trigger the click event.

$input.bind('click', function() {

     console.log("clicked the input");
});

$input.trigger('click');

Answer 2

Yes - It is true that trigger doesn't take callback but we can pass callback as parameter.

//.trigger( eventType [, extraParameters ] )

$("#element").bind("customCall", function(e, callback){
   callback();
}
var callback = function(){alert("Hello");}
$("#element").trigger("customCall",[callback]);

Hope this will helps
