• How can this possible while user redirects to another page? – Manish Jangir Commented Jan 6, 2014 at 11:56
• 1 You cannot do that. Don't forget that JS is client side. By the time you've called window.location, the execution of JS on the current page is stopped. There's no way to trigger on a click AVM-HomeScreen.html from within another page... – BenM Commented Jan 6, 2014 at 11:57
• @ManishJangirBlogaddition. there is a button in AVM-HomeScreen.html which has to be clicked by default when i redirect to this page. – user3044827 Commented Jan 6, 2014 at 11:57
• You have to trigger the click in the target page, not in the current page where you clicked the link – Kanagu Commented Jan 6, 2014 at 11:58

If you have to click a button contained within AVM-HomeScreen.html, you'll need to pass some kind of tracking parameter. For example:

$('#leaderboardbutton').on('click',function(e){
    window.location='AVM-HomeScreen.html?click=true';
});

Next, on AVM-HomeScreen.html, you'll need to check if click == true, and then trigger. For example adding the following JS to AVM-HomeScreen.html should achieve what you need:

if(getParameterByName('click') == 'true')
{
    $('#leaderboard').trigger('click');
}

function getParameterByName(name) 
{
    name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
    var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"),
        results = regex.exec(location.search);
    return results == null ? "" : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
}
