Simulate button click with HTML id [duplicate]

Question

Is there any way to simulate a click of a button with the id 'id' in Javascript or jQuery? Thanks

Either api.jquery.com/trigger or api.jquery.com/click can be used to raise a click event — Rory McCrossan

You could use:

document.getElementById("id").click();

You would still need to bind this to an event. My question would be why do you want to simulate the button click? Why not call the function behind the button instead?
