I am trying to programmatically click a link in jQuery Mobile but its not working. Here is the page code.
<section id="welcome" data-role="page">
<div class="content" data-role="content">
<a id="myLink" href="http://www.google.de" target="_blank">The link</a>
<input type="button" id="launcher" value="Launch the link"/>
</div>
</section>
and here is the correpsonding javascript code:
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#launcher").bind("click",function()
{
console.log("Inside the button click handler");
$("#myLink").click();
});
});
Seems straightforward enough but I can,t seem to make it work.Any help is appreciated.
