Menu
I have tried the following (.myviewer is a div)...
$('.myviewer').click();
and
$('.myviewer').trigger('touchstart');
and
$('.myviewer').trigger('click');
All work on a computer but not an iPad. What am I doing wrong?
Here is what the body of the html page looks like...
<body>
<div class="myviewer" onclick="window.open('myPDFFile.pdf');">Programmatically clicked</div>
</body>
And to round this out here is my jquery code...
$(document).ready(function() {
var isMobile = {
Android : function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i) ? true : false;
},
BlackBerry : function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/BlackBerry/i) ? true : false;
},
iOS : function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone|iPad|iPod/i) ? true : false;
},
Windows : function() {
return navigator.userAgent.match(/IEMobile/i) ? true : false;
},
any : function() {
return (isMobile.Android() || isMobile.BlackBerry() || isMobile.iOS() || isMobile.Windows()); }
};
if(isMobile.any()) {
$('.myviewer').clck(); //this does works on computers but not on iPad
}else {
var markup = "<object data='myPDFFile.pdf#toolbar=1&navpanes=1&scrollbar=0&page=1&view=FitH' type='application/pdf' width='100%' height='100%'> </object>";
$('.myviewer').append(markup);
};
});

The trigger() method triggers the specified event and the default behavior of an event (like form submission) for the selected elements. This method is similar to the triggerHandler() method, except that triggerHandler() does not trigger the default behavior of the event.
Because mobile browsers should also work with with web applications that were build for mouse devices, touch devices also fire classic mouse events like mousedown or click . When a user follows a link on a touch device, the following events will be fired in sequence: touchstart. touchend.
The touchstart event is used to execute a script whenever the user touches an HTML element. On touching a particular element, if the touchstart event is associated with it, it can be used to trigger a javascript function. Note: The touchstart event works only on touch screen devices.
Touch events consist of three interfaces ( Touch , TouchEvent and TouchList ) and the following event types: touchstart - fired when a touch point is placed on the touch surface. touchmove - fired when a touch point is moved along the touch surface. touchend - fired when a touch point is removed from the touch surface.
For .trigger to do anything, you must bind the event first, which you haven't done. onclick="" doesn't count.
To bind the event first use:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.myviewer').on( "touchstart", function(){
$(this).remove();
});
var isMobile = { //...your original code continues here
Then you can later trigger it:
$('.myviewer').trigger('touchstart');
