How to run a callback function on a jQuery trigger("click")?

Question

I need to trigger a custom event in the callback of a `trigger` call, but I can't get it to work. I tried this: ``` var $input = $( ".ui-popup-container" ).find( "input" ).eq(2); function runtests () { console.log("clicked the input"); }; $input.trigger('click', runtests()); ``` and this: ``` var $input = $( ".ui-popup-container" ).find( "input" ).eq(2); $input.trigger('click', function(){ console.log("clicked the input"); } ``` Neither of which works. Question: How do I get a callback function to run when I'm triggering a click on an element?

Accepted Answer

When you call `trigger`, the bound event handler is immediately executed, so you don't need any callback. Just use

```
$input.trigger('click');
runtests();
```
