Make Jquery get element by Id and click it [duplicate]

Question

I have two Ajax-methods in my code and I would like one of them to fire the other. It could be demonstrated like this:

 $(function() {
      //Code that "clicks #target" and triggers the mthod below.
    });

$( "#target" ).click(function() {
  alert( "The above method clicked #target" );
});

Been looking around a bit but im probably using the wrong searchterms. Thanks!

You would just do:

$("#target").click();

This will invoke the defined click function for #target

jQuery('#target').trigger('click'); does the same, using this you can trigger any event that is available for your element.

Try this:

$(function(){
 $( "#target" ).click(function() {
  alert( "The above method clicked #target" );
 });
});

$(function(){}); is an alias for $(document).ready(function(){});

Your click handler is correct, too.
