What could be blocking my javascript click() function?

Question

I am attempting to write a script to automate some tasks on a third party site. The very first step is simply clicking a div on the nav, but document.getElementById('myId').click() does nothing.

In my searching I found this answer that fully simulates a mouse click: Simulating a mousedown, click, mouseup sequence in Tampermonkey?

However, that also does not work. I did notice that there's a class added when hovering, and the script successfully simulates that. And obviously physically clicking works fine. I'm not sure what else I could be missing

Edit: It turns out that the clicking was just fine, but the site is actually checking pieces of the event such as the coordinates, which is why it appeared to not be functioning properly

Answer 1

If I understand correctly, what you want is this:

document.getElementById('myId').addEventListener('click', myFunction);

This will run the function myFunction() when the element with the ID of "#myId" is clicked.

Hope this helps!

PS If this doesn't work, I suggest using Shashank Bhatt's suggestion of checking pointer-events.
