Question

Trying to call the .click() method for a controlgroup in another method. Heres what I have so far:

$("#list").click(function() {
    searchclick = true;
    value = $("#listval").text().split(" - ");
    window.location.href = "index.html";
    item = $("#listval").attr("title");
    if (item == "this") {
        $("#this").click();
    } else {
        $("#that").click();
    }
});​

“#this” and “#that” are the two buttons in the control group. The control group click method is initialized like so:

$("#this, #that").click(function(){ ...code... }

Any help?

EDIT: here is what the html looks like:

<div data-role="content" class="ui-content" role="main">
            <div id="item" data-role="fieldcontain">
                <fieldset data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal">
                    <legend>
                    </legend>
                    <input id="this" name="choose" value="val1" type="radio"/>
                    <label for="this">
                        val1
                    </label>
                    <input id="that" name="choose" value="val2" type="radio"/>
                    <label for="that">
                        val2
                    </label>
                </fieldset>
            </div>
            ...

I ended up setting the variables to Local Variables and calling them in the index.html page. In index.html, I used a try,catch block to check that when the page was loaded, if there are any variables in the Local Variables. Here’s my code in index.html (after list is clicked on the other page:

try{
//grab variables set in search
if(window.localStorage.getItem("searchclick") == "true"){
    searchclick = true; 
}else{searchclick = false}
thisthat = window.localStorage.getItem("thisthat");
if(thisthat == "this"){
    $("#this").click();
    $("#thislabel").addClass("ui-btn-hover-c");
    $("#thislabel").addClass("ui-radio-on");
    $("#thislabel").addClass("ui-btn-active");
}else if(thisthat == "that"){
    $("#that").click();
    $("#thatlabel").addClass("ui-btn-hover-c");
    $("#thatlabel").addClass("ui-radio-on");
    $("#thatlabel").addClass("ui-btn-active");
}
//clear local variables after being used
window.localStorage.clear();

}catch(err){alert(err);}
