[jQuery] Re: Triggering a link with no click event
Hi all,
click() doesn't work on most browsers because of security reasons. Can you
imagine giving some spam programmer the ability to simulate a mouse click?

Subject:[jQuery] Re: Triggering a link with no click event
I was looking to do the same thing - I wanted to emulate the click()
method, which doesn't work on all browsers. I have had any luck
either. I was trying to open a file input browse view by clicking on
another link. I can get it to work in IE and Safari, but Firefox
doesn't support it on input[type=file]

[jQuery] Re: Triggering a link with no click event
Guys, thank you, but it still does not work. 1) The Maurício's solution is just a way of extracting the href value and creating onlick event to jump to that link. What I need is to emulate a click on the a element without opening a link directly. The reason for that: Rokbox scans all rel="rokbox" elements and generates a set of divs bevore closing body tag. Somehow the links are binded with some internal RokBox functions, so clicking on the link opens a RokBox with the link target inside. 2) Yes, I am using both mootools and jquery with noConflict() declaration - it works perfectly 3) The problem is that I cannot find the function inside RokBox to call it directly from jscript function. At the same time I would rather prefer to use RokBox, because it works perfectly for complex independent pages with ajax, flash etc inside. RokBox creates an iframe inside. The point is that I need to find either a way of emulating the link click or a function inside RokBox, which is difficult, because it is packed any more ideas?
[jQuery] Re: Triggering a link with no click event
I'm not sure, but I think click() will only fire the events bound with
jQuery itself. RokBox seems to be based on mootools, have you tried
the mootools way?
$('test').fireEvent('click');
Also, are you sure you're not having conflicts between jQuery and
mootools? Which one is using the caret symbol ($)? Best would be to
stick to a single library, as you'll have overlapping functionality
(longer download times) and the possibility of problems like this.

[jQuery] Re: Triggering a link with no click event
Hi Andy,
Sorry. There is no need to use the find() method.
function linkClick() {
var target = $('#test').attr('href');
window.location = target;
}
---
But I strongly recommend do not use javascrit whitin the markup.
Keep behavior inside its own layer.
So a best approach should be:
Markup layer
Emulating click
Behavior layer:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#linktest').click(function() {
var target = $('#test').attr('href');
window.location = target;
});
});

HI All,
It could be a silly question, but I cannot find a simple answer...
I need to trigger a link with href via an external function, i.e.
Emulating click
my link
function linkClick(){
$("#test").click();
}
It does not work and returns nothing. I understanbd that it is because
the a#test does not have the actual onclick event. So, how can I
emulate click on a#test?
Note, that I cannot modify the a link element or add onclick events.
[jQuery] Re: Triggering a link with no click event
Try:
function linkClick() {
var target = $('body').find('#test').attr('href');
window.location = target;
}

[jQuery] Re: Triggering a link with no click event
As I can see quite many posts on this subject I wanted to explain why I need this. I generate links for RokBox modal window - something like test next, I need to trigger these links from jscript function (from the external flash application). I could not figure out the way how to call RokBox directly and have to finc out the way how to trigger links via jquery or mootools or whatsoever. Any suggestions?
