Question

I am binding a click event with an elementid like this:

 $("#a").bind({click : dosomestuff });

After that when I am trying to trigger it with the .trigger() function like this:

   $("#a").trigger("click");

The function is not triggering. Can anybody tell me the problem?

You may don’t put you code within

$(function() {

});

or

if your #a in dynamic then try

$('document').on('click', '#a', dosomestuff); // it would be better to 
                                              // replace document with 
                                              // `#a`'s parent
