Is there an element.click() #181

Hi,

Is there an element.click() ?

e.g. CQ dom = CQ.Create(HTML); dom["#myelementbutton"].click();

If yes, how to implement an element click?

There is not an click event, remember you are not executing the javascript. What are you exactly trying to do with the click?

brendonco commented 9 years ago

I'm trying to execute a JS function inside the JavaScript file similar to JQuery click(). If it not possible with CQ, do you have a better idea in mind?

rondefreitas commented 9 years ago

CsQuery is really a tool for manipulating and parsing HTML using similar syntax as the jQuery library. "click" events and the like aren't really applicable in that sense.

like @tellez12 said, "you are not executing the javascript".

If you're trying to do unit testing of your javascript, use Jasmine. If you're trying to have server-side code trigger an event in javascript, use SignalR.

If there's something else you're trying to accomplish, please explain.

I also need this functionality to automate form filling and submission. JQuery also has form.submit

Once again: CsQuery is NOT a javascript engine. It does not run javascript. It is an HTML parser. It has no knowledge of DOM events.

Thanks for highlighting the use of CSQuery.
