how to auto click in javascript or html

Question

Can somebody tell me how to auto click the button in a page when it loads? I've tried this code in javascript but it doesn't `work.

<a href="javascript:Clickheretoprint()" id="print">

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#print").click(); 
});
</script>

is there any way to do this??

That should work. Are there any errors in the console? Have you included JQuery? — Tholle, Jan 28 '17 at 13:54
Do check if the page has more than one element with same id `#print` — , Jan 28 '17 at 14:45

are you referencing a jQuery script in your code? No jQuery tag is on the question, but you are using it — Eduardo Poço, Jan 28 '17 at 15:07

$("#print")[0].click();
