To trigger an event you can use...wait for it...trigger().  :-)

$("foo").trigger("click");

Or you can call click with no arguments:

$("foo").click();

As with a real click, the "this" will be pointing to the element. I'm not
sure about the details of the first (event) argument in these cases.
However, you can tell a real click from a fake click by passing trigger some
arguments:

$("foo").trigger("click", ["other", "stuff", "here"]);

$(".foo").click(function (e, p1, p2) {
if ( p2 == "stuff" )
alert("I was triggered, not clicked.");
else
alert("Finally, an honest click.");
});
 
So is this some sort of van den Hoven family reunion around here?  :-)

You can use either of these (they do the same thing):

  $("#foo").click();

  $("#foo").trigger("click");

Hi Adam, fire an event manually like that:

$(".foo").click();

I think you can do this with the "apply" call, although i am unsure how ;)

[jQuery] triggering an event

[Adam van den Hoven]

I was wondering having done:

$(".foo").click(function (e) {alert ("foo");});

Can I force the click event to fire manually, or do I resort to

var x = function (e) {alert ("foo");}
$("#foo").click(x);
ele = $("#foo").get(0)
x.call( ele, {target:ele});
