jquery click on link?

Question

After an event is triggered, how do I make jQuery click on a link with an id of mylink?

Answer 1

$('#lol').click(function() {
   $('#mylink').trigger('click')
   return false;
});

replace click with your event.

Answer 2

You probably want something like

window.location = $("#mylink").attr("href");

Answer 3

Calling click() without any parameters triggers the event, instead of registering an event handler for it.

$('#mylink').click();
