Question

I have a click event function like so:

        $('.expand2').click(function(e) {
            alert('in');
            e.preventDefault();
            var obj = $(this);
...

I need to execute it after page load, as well as clicking on the link with class=”expand2″.

How would i simulate a click event right after the page load for the first on the form with a class “expand2”??

I’ve tried this:

$(function(){
    $('.expand2:first').click();
}

didn’t work.

Answer 1

$(document).ready(function() { ... }) is just shorthand for $(function() { ... }) so that shouldn’t be your problem. Provided you’ve copied the code correctly, it just looks as though you forgot to close your brackets

EDIT: roXon’s demo with $(function(){}) just to show you it works the same
