How to simulate vclick using jQuery?

Question

This is how I simulate a click in a web browser:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("button").click();
});

But how can I simulate a vclick instead? The reason is I want to automate a tap on mobile devices. Any ideas?

You could probably trigger it if you're using jQuery Mob, `$("button").trigger('vclick')` — adeneo, Jul 30 '15 at 16:46

I suppose you can use this:

$('button').trigger('vclick');

Update: possible alternative

$('button').trigger('tap');

For some reason, this doesn't work. @Henri S. Do you know how else I can simulate a click on a mobile device? – Ralph David Abernathy Jul 30 '15 at 16:55
