Triggering a Click on a Button

I have a button that looks like the below:

like button

As you can see in the image there is a black border around the <a> aspect of the button. I added the black border. The click events are not doing anything however.

Here is my code:

$('.vbseo_like_link').each(function(){
    $(this).click();
    $(this).css("border", "5px solid black");
});

At the moment, when these are clicked there should be a Javascript alert that pops up along with the button becoming faded. This works when I manually click on it, however using click() does not seem to work.

Did I do something incorrect?

$(this) is for the jquery selector, but your click is within each. I think Givi is right. Try this.click()

if your manual click works, you can try this.click().

  • this.click() calls the DOM method click().
  • $(this).click() is more complicated (trigger jQuery click event). It does the same as $("#id").trigger("click").
