Question

I am having trouble trying to trigger a submit button in firefox 3.6 but it works in IE 8

        $('.triggerLink').click(function (event) {
            $('#submitBtn').trigger('click');
        });

I’m also using vs2010 and in Firebug it just says status=aborted on the Post with no Response or other indication what went wrong?

Answer 1

You seem to be trying to trigger a form submit. Instead of clicking the Submit button, why not just submit the form:

$('#submitBtn').closest('form').submit();

Or, if you know the id of the form:

$('#formID').submit();
