[jQuery] Re: simple click event won't fire

[mmvdl]

Thx for pointing that out, native events won't fire...check!

I got carried away thinking the native event was firing because when i
initialy used

$(table.vacatures tbody tr).click( function(){
   $(this).find(a:first).click();
});

I got a 'too much recursion' error, thinking that the native event
fired - bubling back up to the tr  and firing over and over again.
That's why I tried .one().

Anyway, thx.

What is a one event?

 But I want the whole tr to be clickable.

 To avoid recursion I've put a .one() event on the tr like so:

 $(table.vacatures tbody tr).one(click, function(){
    $(this).find(a:first).click();

 });

 But the click on the a tag will not fire. Why?

It's a helper method that only fires once, then is removed.

mmvdl, if you are expecting that your click() call will trigger the
default browser action (following the link), that won't happen. click
() only fires the listeners, not the native behaviour. In this case
you can fake it with this:

$(table.vacatures tbody tr).click(function(){
   window.location = $(this).find(a:first)[0].href;
});

(no need for one() as you're leaving the current page anyway)

That worked well. Thank you.

So in pseudocode this essentially says..

when document is ready:
bind the event 'click' to '#thelink'
invoke the href when a 'click' occurs

trigger a 'click'

correct? This is more for my own understanding.

You can't trigger a link's default action with jQuery, but you can do  
something like this:


$().ready(function() {
  $('#thelink').bind('click', function() {
window.location = this.href;
return false;
  }).trigger('click');
});

I created an email link, that I want invoked (clicked) on page load.
I thought I could simply do:

$().ready(function() {
   $(#thelink).click()
})

Do I need to do something else?

Thanks.
