Thread: [Xsltforms-support] How to click a <trigger> from script?

Alain and friends,

Within the JavaScript of an app, I need to activate a <trigger> of a  
certain id, exactly as if someone had clicked a button.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Hi Micah,

Here is an example of Javascript Trigger Activation :

<html
 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
 xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
 xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events"
 >
   <head>
      <title>Javascript Trigger Activation Example</title>
      <xf:model/>
   </head>
   <body onload="$('console').style.display = 'block';">
        <xf:trigger>
            <xf:label>Button 1</xf:label>
            <xf:message level="modal" ev:event="DOMActivate">Hello from 
Button 1</xf:message>
            <xf:load ev:event="DOMActivate" 
resource="javascript:$('button2').xfElement.click()"/>
        </xf:trigger>
        <xf:trigger id="button2">
            <xf:label>Button 2</xf:label>
            <xf:message level="modal" ev:event="DOMActivate">Hello from 
Button 2</xf:message>
        </xf:trigger>
   </body>
</html>

I have tested it with the committed work version in the SVN repository. 
I'm not sure it would also work with the beta version for many reasons...

Hope it helps.
