Looking for a Javascript that do a left-mouse click on a image/button identified by ID or CLASS name, wait x seconds and repeat. And able to run in developer tools Console tap, in chrome and firefox.
Tried to write it myself, cause i figured it would be a simple code, but after 2 hours of trial and error with no luck, i am starting to run out of options.
Hopefully a Javascript pro out there got time to help out a very novice user ;)
Thanks
What's wrong with
document.getElementById(id).click()
If you're willing to use jQuery, you can use this simple function to do it:
window.setInterval(function(){
$("#divToClick").trigger("click");
}, 1000);
That will call it every 1000 milliseconds, or 1 second
For a pure Javascript solution, you should take a look at How to trigger event in Javascript
or, if you're not interested in supporting IE, you can do it the simple way, with an Event() constructor, and event.dispatch()
You'd use the event constructor and dispatchEvent for that :
var support = true; // check if event constructor is supported
try {
if (new MouseEvent('click', {bubbles: false}).bubbles !== false) {
support = false;
} else if (new MouseEvent('click', {bubbles: true}).bubbles !== true) {
support = false;
}
} catch (e) {
support = false;
}
setInterval(function() {
if (support) {
var event = new MouseEvent('click');
}else{
var event = document.createEvent('Event');
event.initEvent('click', true, true);
}
elem.dispatchEvent(event);
},1000);
