Question

Is there a way to trigger a hidden button on an html markup page using jquery or jscript?

How would I do that if possible?

Thank you,

James

With jQuery:

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

or:

$('#buttonId').trigger('click');

With plain JavaScript:

document.getElementById('buttonId').onclick();

Since you’re using ASP .NET you might want to get the button id by using the ClientID server-side property of the control:

$('#<%=Button.ClientID %>').click(); 

Or:

document.getElementById('<%=Button.ClientID %>').onclick();
