trigger click on element that has multiple class

Question

I have the following element:

  <a href="#" class='popup register'>Register</a>

and I want to trigger a clic action on this, how do I do this? I tried doing:

$('.popup .register').trigger('click');

but it didn't work

Answer 1

Remove the space between the selectors.

$('.popup.register').trigger('click');

.popup .register means that trigger click event on the element with class register which is a child of element with class popup . So in your particular scenario this won't work as they are both on the same element.
