Question

I have many checkboxes in my page and there is a select all checkbox which checks all the checkboxes. Somehow I want to emulate that click event of checkbox even if it\'s checke

Answer 1

Trigger function from jQuery could be your answer.

jQuery docs says: Any event handlers attached with .on() or one of its shortcut methods are triggered when the corresponding event occurs. They can be fired manually, however, with the .trigger() method. A call to .trigger() executes the handlers in the same order they would be if the event were triggered naturally by the user

Thus best one line solution should be:

$('.selector_class').trigger('click');

//or

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