Convert javascript code into Jquery

Question

How to convert this code below into Jquery?

document.getElementsByName("autosubmit")[0].click(); // SUBMIT FORM

It should look like this code below.

$("#dateForm").submit();

Element Name is from <input type="submit" name="autosubmit">

Any help please.

Answer 1

Give your form an id and submit with:

$("#yourFormId").submit();

Answer 2

You can use Attribute Equals Selector [name="value"]

$('input[type="submit"][name="autosubmit"]').trigger('click');

OR

If you have multiple elements with name=autosubmit you can use :first selector

$('input[type="submit"][name="autosubmit"]:first').trigger('click');

As per comment

setTimeout(function(){
 $('input[type="submit"][name="autosubmit"]').trigger('click');
}, 2000);

• ahmed hamdy: you can just use $('input[name="autosubmit"]').trigger('click')
• user3097736: @satpal How to set the timer before the trigger? I want to delay the trigger for just a 2 seconds.
• Satpal: @user3097736, Use setTimeout(function(){ $('input[type="submit"][name="autosubmit"]').trigger('click'); }, 2000);

Answer 3

try

$("input[name='autosubmit']").submit();

Answer 4

Try this code below:

$('input[name=autosubmit]:eq(0)').click();
