Question

button.trigger('click'); doesn’t seem to work.

There’s also no trigger method in the docs.

Is the only way to set the classes manually?

Thanks.

Edit:

Oh actually not specific enough in asking, sorry. My button is a radio.

Answer 1

You can call $('#thebutton').click(); but it is important to note that does not simulate a browser-level click; it only invokes any jQuery-assigned click handlers for that button. Anything added outside of the jQuery sandbox will be ignored.
