jQuery trigger doesnt work on Firefox

Question

I'm trying to simulate click event on some element using jQuery when click enter in some textbox:

$("input[id$=txtbox]").bind('keypress', function (e) {
    if (e.keyCode === 13) {
       SimulateClick();
    }
});

function SimulateClick()
{
    $("input[id$=btn]").trigger('click');
}

here is the HTML:

<asp:Button ID="btn" runat="server" OnClick="checkUserPass_Click" Style="display: none" />

its not working on firefox. any ideas or work arounds?

Trigger won't work to simulate click event defined on onclick attribute on the input element.

You have to bind your function to the input in order trigger to work.

$("input[id$=btn]").bind('click', function() {
  alert("I am clicked :)");
});

And now, if you execute $("input[id$=btn]").trigger('click');. This will work.

but the click I want to simulate will fire a some function in code behind C#. btn is a runat server button. – Arrabi Nov 15 '11 at 08:49

try using a simple html tag instead of asp control. <input type="button" id="btn" style="display: none;" >

This works on FF and other browsers, too.

$('input#btn').click();

Check which version of jQuery you use. The code works perfectly with jQuery > 1.2.6 – esengineer Nov 15 '11 at 09:05
