$('a').trigger('click'); not working

Question

How do I make jquery click test

Answer 1

your above code will not work because you have assigned value in href and then you want some operation onclick of this anchor tag.

test

first of all you have assigned .zip to href. So it will open zip file onclick first and will not trigger any other operation in onclick trigger.

so whatever operation you want to do , perform it first then open .zip

use code like below

test

$('#mylink').click(function(){
    // do your operation here
    // now open zip 
});
