The HTMLElement.click() method simulates a mouse click on an element. When used on supported elements like <input>, it fires the element's click event which then bubbles up to higher elements in the DOM tree, firing their click events as well. The click() method takes no arguments and simulates a mouse click by firing the element's click event.

HTMLElement.click()
The HTMLElement.click() method simulates a mouse click on an
element.

When click() is used with supported elements (such as an <input> ), it


fires the element's click event. This event then bubbles up to elements higher
in the document tree (or event chain) and fires their click events.

Syntax

element.click()

Example
Simulate a mouse-click when moving the mouse pointer over a checkbox:
HTML

1 <form>
2 <input type="checkbox" id="myCheck" onmouseover=
3 </form>

JavaScript

1 // On mouse-over, execute myFunction


2 function myFunction() {
3 document.getElementById("myCheck").click();
4 }
