How do I auto click a button in js?

Question

How can I get a button to click itself, I mean ... can I? Like maybe if a have a button that would change the background color of something, and I want it to be clicked in one second, without me tapping / clicking it.,-

I thought button.clicked == true would work, it doesn’t seem to be working.

Answer 1

setTimeout( yourClickCallback, 1000);

Answer 2

Oma Falk hmm...
like...
func()

function func(){
//do something..
}

like that?

Answer 3

You could make a function triggered by click event, why can't you call the function directly?

Answer 4

Ginfio there is no property called clicked on button element.

If you set the click event
button.onclick = onRock;

function onRock() {
alert('rock selected');
}

You can also call the click event callback, by onRock();

If you want to trigger state, you should use checkbox input, not button.

Calviղ I guess i could. I’m making a rock paper sccisors game and, it wasn’t a big problem, but something there was something that bothered me about it, so my first thought and solution was: when that button is clicked, this button.clicked = true.

But, let me think about it a little bit more, and see if calling the function is just the correct sulution

XXX I think. It is bad idea to use library for just a method. We can simply use button.click() method. Have you try?

🇮🇳Vivek🇮🇳 I haven't. I told you that I don't know about pure JavaScript. So if he was using jQuery he could have used the trigger method. Thanks for the info.

I don't know about pure JavaScript, but using jQuery allows you to use

$("#"+(Button-id)).trigger("click")

Answer 14

If you want your button get auto clicked, then you should use window.load method , I think that would be the same as button get auto clicked
