How to identify whether button click is done by user or done via script

Question

I want to show a specific message only if the button click event is done by user manually. If it is clicked by script then message should now show. How can i do so in Jquery.

$('#save_btn').change(function(e){
if (e.originalEvent !== undefined)
{
successMsg();
}
});

Your code is right, Just change `.change(` to `.click(` – Mohammad May 10 '19 at 12:21 — Mohammad, May 10 '19 at 12:21

You can see where the button was clicked:

$('#save_btn').on("click", function(e) {
  console.log(e.pageX)
});

$('#save_btn').click()

<button type="button" id="save_btn">Click me</button>
