I don't know much about Javascript but I though the .click mand was the way to simulate a click on an item, let's say with something like

document.getElementById('id').click

I recently found a webpage where the buttons .click mand did not triggered anything though my actual real clicks do.

I dug a bit and found that there are no event on the onclick of those buttons though they seem to have some eventlistener attached.

Hence I am looking to the proper mand out of my Chrome console to trigger the event without actually clicking. Anyone can help on this?

Regards

Ok that was a very stupid question from me thanks to my lack of knowledge of javascript (and tiredness maybe regarding how easy the answer is).

So I just lacked a few parenthesis in my click mand...

(EDIT: fixed typo in method)

document.getElementById('id').click()

And now it's fine... sorry for bothering you and thanks to @Kasabucki Alexandr who indirectly showed me the correct answer

You can just type in console something like this: document.getElementById('notify-container');

let a = document.getElementById('notify-container');

a.addEventListener('click', () => console.log('asdfsd'));

document.getElementById('notify-container').click()

<div id="notify-container"></div>

Do you think about addEventListener?
