    Hi guys. I have a quick question. What's the code for having a link with the id "autoid" clicked when the body of my html code loads?

    Thanks,
    Alex

    Basically, I have link on my page. I want to use the click function of JavaScript to automatically click it when the page loads. The id of the link is 'autoid'.

    You can use this

    
<html>

<head>

<script>
window.onload = function(){
  document.getElementById("autoid").click();
}
</script>

</head>

<body>

<a href="http://rubensargsyan.com" id="autoid">Ruben Sargsyan's personal website</a>

</body>

</html>
    Code (markup):
    but it doesn't work on firefox. Or you can use this:

    
<html>

<head>

<script>
window.onload = function(){
   location.href = document.getElementById("autoid");
}
</script>

</head>

<body>

<a href="http://rubensargsyan.com" id="autoid">Ruben Sargsyan's personal website</a>

</body>

</html>
    Code (markup):

    window.setTimeout('clickit()',5000);
function clickit(){
   location.href = document.getElementById("autoid");
}
    HTML:
    This should work :)

    Hi,

    I agree with above codding solution. But in place of timer. U can use
    window.onload=functionName;
    it is too better than javascript timer function.
