Trigger an event created by .on()

Question

I have a jQuery event defined as follows :

$('#pagebody').on('click', '#serverCompTab', function () {
    toggleTabs('#serverComp', '#serverCompTab');
});

I would like to trigger this event manually on my code like $('#'serverCompTab].onclick();

Can anyone help me with this?

Answer 1

Use click() instead of onclick() :

$('#serverCompTab').click();
//Or
$('#serverCompTab').trigger('click');

NOTE : you should replace ] by ) and move the quote to the end :

$('#'serverCompTab]
____^_____________^
    |             |__ //Replace it by ')'
    |__ //Move it to the end

Hope this helps.

You were really close. $('#serverCompTab').click() should take care of it for you.
