Question

Answer 1

A:

$("#yourbuttonid").click();

EDIT:

<form>
    ... 
   <input type="submit" id="myFirstsubmit" /> 
   <input type="submit" id="mysubmit" /> 
</form> 
<script type="text/javascript">  
    $(document).ready(function(){$("#mysubmit").click();}); 
</script>

so I can just do: <input type="submit" onload="$("#mybuttonid").click();" /> or can I just do "click();"?

...<input type="submit" id="mysubmit" /></form><script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){$("#mysubmit").click();});</script>

ya i am trying it....

Luke3butler 2010-06-23 15:24:20

Tried ALL the answers given... not working.. is there a way I can use a class instead of an ID?

Luke3butler 2010-06-23 15:37:06

of course, just add a class to your submit button and call `$('.mysubmit').click()` instead; note the `.` instead of `#`

acmatos 2010-06-23 16:03:05

yes.. thats what I thought it would be.... ( . instead of #) no success...

Do you reference Jquery js files in your head section?

Gregoire 2010-06-23 19:15:31

yes.. I have Jquery elements working fine on the site...

Luke3butler 2010-06-23 19:42:39

for some reason I got something to work.. I guess I has more than 1 document ready function or something... idk.. but its working... this is my final result code....................................................................................... <?php if($_GET['print']==TRUE){ echo '<script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function(){$("#print").trigger("click");}); </script>'; } ?>

Answer 2

+2 A:

instead of going for a click event on a submit button, you can call submit of a form object from javascript.

Example :

<head>
<title>Auto Submit Form</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
    window.onload = function () {
        var form = document.getElementById("PDFGenerationForm");
        form.submit();
    };

    function OnFormSubmit() {
        alert("Submitting form.");
    }
</script>

<body>
<form id="PDFGenerationForm" action="" method="post" onsubmit="OnFormSubmit">
    <!--Any input tags go in here-->
</form>

This editor won't let me paste the whole HTML in here. So, it is in fragments.

so how would I do that?... <input type="submit" onload="submit();" /> ???

Answer 3

A:

Use .trigger()

$('#input_form_id').trigger('submit');

or trigger the click event handler from a submit button

$('#button_id').trigger('click');
