jQuery Click specific item

Question

<a class="example" href="https://example.com/index.php">hellau</a>
<a class="example" href="https://example1.com/index.php">hellau1</a>
<a class="example" href="https://example2.com/index.php">hellau2</a>

Need to get and go to second href somehow.

$('.example')[1].click();

doesn't work sticks to one random link until entry is removed

var link = $(".example");
link.click();
window.location.href = link[1].attr("href");

doesn't work either

Any way to make it click specific text part or something along those lines?

Text and links are dynamic

To be clear, what do you want to accomplish? Click on first link causing redirection to second link `href` or Trigger a click on second link? — rrk, Aug 14 '15 at 11:56

trigger a click on second link, in this example. But it could be any link max up to 50 random links — Yer, Aug 14 '15 at 12:02

Need to get and go to second href somehow.

You are trying to trigger the click event of second anchor element. However it will not trigger the default action of redirecting to href. You will need to get the href of second element and then set windows href location to it.

Like this:

window.location.href = $(".example:eq(1)").attr('href');

`$('.example')[1].click();` Why this doesn't work? Add details in your answer. – Rajaprabhu Aravindasamy Aug 14 '15 at 11:52
@RajaprabhuAravindasamy you are right. It should work normally. – rrk Aug 14 '15 at 11:55

@RejithRKrishnan Yeah. That should work. Need to figure out what is the problem there. – Rajaprabhu Aravindasamy Aug 14 '15 at 11:57
is it possible to pass a variable into eq() ? – Yer Aug 14 '15 at 11:59
@Yer what kind of value are you thinking about? – rrk Aug 14 '15 at 12:00

something like in example below – Yer Aug 14 '15 at 12:03
$('.example').eq(1).trigger('click') but instead of 1 just pass another variable like var linkNumber = somenumber – Yer Aug 14 '15 at 12:04

Using trigger()

$('.example').eq(1).trigger('click');

Alternative way

$('.example').eq(1).on('click');

Here is an example code for what you look : Jquery

$("a").click(function(){
    alert($(this).attr("href"));
});
