Question

i have a input button in a form:

<input type="submit" value="" class="hidde" name="free"  id="helpdiv" onmouseover="this.style.background='url('../images/thank_you/thank.png');'" onmouseout="this.style.background='url('../images/thank_you/thank_you.png');'" style="width: 236px; height: 127px;">

and a jQuery script that has an event:

onlike:function(response){
    $('.uncontent').hide('fade');
    $('input#helpdiv').trigger('click');
}

when that function triggers i would like the input button to be triggered as well.
the function is working because $('.uncontent').hide('fade'); gets triggered

any ideas?

Edit:

$('input#helpdiv').trigger('click')
or

$('input#helpdiv').click()

won’t work for some reason

Answer 1

Try…

$('#helpdiv').click();

If you’re trying to submit a form via this button select the <form> element and call submit() on it like so….

$('#helpdiv').parents('form').eq(0).submit();
