How to trigger mouseover function on an element when not really mouseovered

Question

In jQuery, is it possible for an element to act like it is mouseovered automatically when the page is loading, when it is not really mouseovered? I mean, I won't put my pointer on the desired element for it to do what it would do if I put.

Answer 1

Use .trigger() to trigger an event.

$('#foo').trigger('mouseover');

Answer 2

You can call the handler directly

$('abc').mouseover();

Answer 3

Put the desired action in the document.ready function as that is when you actually want the action, not on a mouse-over that doesn't happen.
