I have binded some links click event.

When I click one of them link is captured and default prevented but when I make my own logic and trigger click again, href or onclick attributes are not triggered.

Fiddle example: https://jsfiddle.net/oo80rmhd/15/

allowPaymentSubmit = false;

$(document).on('click', '#links a', function(event) {

  $('#console').append('clicked<br>');
  var el = $(this);

  if (!allowPaymentSubmit) {
    event.preventDefault();

    //My Ajax call logic
    //On ajax success set to true and trigger click
    allowPaymentSubmit = true;
    el.trigger('click');
  }

});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="links">
  <a href="http://www.google.es">Href</a><br>
  <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="$('#paypal_payment_form').submit();">OnClick</a>
</div>

<div id="console"></div>

Why are you triggering it again? why prevent default in the first place if you want the click to happen? – epascarello Jul 11 '17 at 17:56
Out of curiosity, why are you using a link vs a button? – Hopeless Jul 11 '17 at 17:57
I only want to trigger his own href or onclick attribute if ajax is successfully. – David S. P. Jul 11 '17 at 17:58
Just submit the form... why reclick the link? – epascarello Jul 11 '17 at 17:59
@epascarello read the code comments. Click in the ajax success only – mplungjan Jul 11 '17 at 18:00
works fine for me – Mojtaba Jul 11 '17 at 18:02
I am saying, the only reason you are clicking the link is to call the form submit.... so just call the submit directly – epascarello Jul 11 '17 at 18:02
@epascarello, he put the minimized code here. For sure, he needs this indirect submission. So, let's focus on the question. Not on the reason. – Mojtaba Jul 11 '17 at 18:04
@Mojtaba And sometimes the simplest solution is the best one. – epascarello Jul 11 '17 at 18:05
