Using Click() On Links In Android Stock Browser Not Working

I want to trigger a click on a link with JavaScript but have problems getting it to work on the Android Stock Browser. The following code works fine in Chrome (Desktop, Mac) and Sa

Solution 1:

I found the solution here. Its pure JS, not jquery, but might help to solve missing click() on android stock browsers:

<ahref="http://stackoverflow.com/"id="link">click here</a><scripttype="text/javascript">//same as: document.getElementById("link").click()var clickEvent = document.createEvent('MouseEvent');
    clickEvent.initEvent('click', true, true);
    document.getElementById("link").dispatchEvent(clickEvent);
</script>

Solution 2:

you need to convert your click events to touch events using Jquery like below

<scripttype="text/javascript">jQuery(document).ready(function() 
    {
       jQuery('#a').bind("touchstart touchend touchmove click",function(event) 
       {
    event.preventDefault();
         jQuery('#b').click();
       });

      jQuery('#b').bind("touchstart touchend touchmove click",function(event) 
       {
    event.preventDefault();
         alert('Test');
       });
    });
 </script>
