Question

I have an image on a page. I cannot change the page. When you click on the images this page has, a function run and processes the image. The image is not a button. To make the image respond to clicks, the page developer added a listener to it. In fact, every image on that page has a listener. The listener is listening the “img” tag.

When you click on an image, the Javascript checks to see if that image should respond to a click and then runs or not a function.

I am developing some automation to fill the form where this image is. This automation script needs to fill the form and click on that image. How do I click on that image using javascript?

What should I look on the code to discover the method that runs when the image is clicked?

My problem is this: as the listener is attached to all images on that page but just some respond to the clicks, I suppose that the function attached to the listener has to receive a reference to the image that needed to be process… this is what complicates everything…

If you guys want, I can zip the page and the javascripts and put it here.

thanks

$(document).ready(function (){
    $('img').click(function() {
        alert($(this).attr('alt'));     
    });


$('img').eq(0).click();     // << I think this is what you need

});
