Clicking on one button to trigger click event on another

Question

I want to click on button 2 to trigger a click event on button 1.

However, when I try the following, nothing happens when clicking on #2: no alert for #1 or #2.

Answer 1

Use

$('#button-1').trigger('click');

or

$('#button-1').trigger(e.type);

$('#button-1').trigger(e);
