[javascript] JQuery / JavaScript - trigger button click from another button click event

I have this HTML which looks like this:

<input type="submit" name="savebutton" class="first button" />
<input type="submit" name="savebutton" class="second button" />

and JS:

jQuery("input.second").click(function(){
   // trigger second button ?
   return false;
});

So how can I trigger the click event from the 2nd button by clicking on the first one? Note that I don't have any control over the 2nd button, neither on the html or the click event on it...

This question is related to javascript jquery html input

The answer is


You mean this:

jQuery("input.first").click(function(){
   jQuery("input.second").trigger('click');
   return false;
});

jQuery("input.first").click(function(){
   jQuery("input.second").trigger("click");
   return false;
});

If it does not work by using the click() method like suggested in the accepted answer, then you can try this:

//trigger second button
$("#second").mousedown();
$("#second").mouseup();

By using JavaScript: document.getElementById("myBtn").click();


Well, you just fire the desired click event:

$(".first").click(function(){
    $(".second").click(); 
    return false;
});

this works fine, but file name does not display anymore.

$(document).ready(function(){ $("img.attach2").click(function(){ $("input.attach1").click(); return false; }); });
