[jquery] Auto-click button element on page load using jQuery

If I wanted to auto-click a button element on page load, how would I go about this using jQuery?

The button html is

<button class="md-trigger" id="modal" data-modal="modal"></button>

Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I tried the following ways in first jQuery, then JavaScript:

jQuery:

 window.location.href = $(".contact").attr('href');
 $('.contactformone').trigger('click');  

This is the best way in JavaScript:

 document.getElementById("id").click();

You can use that and adjust the time you want to launch 1= onload 2000= 2 sec

$(document).ready(function(){
 $('#click').click(function(){
        alert('button clicked');
    });
  // set time out 2 sec
     setTimeout(function(){
        $('#click').trigger('click');
    }, 2000);
});

.container{
padding-top:50px;
}

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="container">
<div class="col text-center">
<button id="click" class="btn btn-danger">Jquery Auto Click</button>
  </div>
   </div>

We should rather use Javascript.

    <button href="images/car.jpg" id="myButton">
        Here is the Button to be clicked
    </button>


    <script>

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

    </script>

JavaScript Pure:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("modal").click();
</script>

JQuery:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#modal").trigger('click'); 
});
</script>

or

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#modal").click(); 
});
</script>

Use the following code

$("#modal").trigger('click');
