jQuery - Programmatically Trigger Event

Question

I need to programmatically trigger a click event that\'s being handled by jQuery. Here\'s the current code:

var $thumbs = $(\'#PhotoGalleryThumbs .tile\');
var          


        

Answer 1

Similar to the previous suggestion of

$($thumbs[7]).click();

you can use

$thumbs.eq(7).click();

For clarification, array indexing into a jQuery collection gives you the DOM Element at that position, whereas .eq(n) gives you a new jQuery object which references only the indexed element.

Answer 2

$thumbs.click();

This would trigger the click event. Is this what you're looking for?
