How can i simulate a click of the button below? I tried using the javascript
$("#Save").click() but it didnt work. Does this have to do with it not working because there is no id but name?
<input class="button" type="submit" name="Save" value="Save" onclick="OnSubmit(this.form);">
What javascript command in my browser would i use to simulate the click of Save following something like i tried to use?
Much help appreciated! Im new to this
It appears your using jQuery with an id selector (# denotes an id), however the element doesn't have an id. Since the element does have a name attribute, an attribute selector can be used by jQuery. An appropriate selector would be:
$('input[name="Save"]').click(); //Assuming no other elements have name=Save
JS Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/pJD3R/
You could also change the markup to work with your existing selector by adding an id attribute:
<input id="Save" class="button" type="submit" name="Save" value="Save" onclick="OnSubmit(this.form);">
Save would cause issues.$("#Save").click() mean you target an element with the id save but you don't have any id on your input.
<input class="button" id="save" type="submit" name="Save" value="Save" onclick="OnSubmit(this.form);">
$('input[name=Save]').click(function(){
alert('Do Something');
});
value: An attribute value. Can be either an unquoted single word or a quoted string. I didn't know that.
my name would fail due to the space?
id="Save"because the#sign in your JQuery selector means it is selecting the ID following it (Save in your case).
