Want to fire trigger click event with only JavaScript

Question

I want to fire an trigger click event with JavaScript. I did it with jQuery like this:

$('button[type="submit"]').trigger('click'):

I want the same with JavaScript.

Answer 1

function callClick() {
  document.querySelector('button[type="submit"]').click();
}

<button type="submit" onmouseover="callClick();" onclick="alert('Click called!')">Submit</button>

This should do the trick:

document.querySelector('button[type="submit"]').click();

Answer 2

you can use click . The HTMLElement.click() method simulates a mouse click on an element.When click() is used with supported elements (such as an <input>), it fires the element's click event. This event then bubbles up to elements higher in the document tree (or event chain) and fires their click events.

Syntax

setTimeout(function(){
  let submit =document.getElementById('submit');
  submit.click();
},2000)

function submited(){
  alert('submitted');
}

<form onsubmit="submited()">
 <input type="text">
 <input type="submit" id="submit">
</form>

Answer 3

You can use

document.getElementById('buttonID').click();

in vanilla JS
