My problem is that I got 2 aspx controls generated like this :

<a id="sortByDate" href="javascript:__doPostBack('sortByDate','')">Date</a>
<a id="sortByLastName" href="javascript:__doPostBack('sortByLastName','')">Last name</a>

so those links allow you to sort the results. I'm trying to put this in a bobox instead of using links.

So I made it like this

<select id="sortBySelect" onchange="javascript:sortBy(this);">
       <option value="sortByLastName">Last name</option>
       <option value="sortByDate">Date</option>
</select>

with this javascript function

function sortBy(sel) {
    var id = sel.value;
    $("#" + id).trigger("click");
}

So when you change the selected element in the bobox I want to trigger the click event on the link to call the dopostback to sort.

It does nothing so far. I tried "click", "onclick", "onClick" and nothing works. Unfortunately, this is for IE quirks mode.

I know, this is really not elegant, but I'm really short in time and I need something quick and dirty. I will make an aspx control eventually to handle this nicely.

Any ideas how I could make this work in ie quirks mode?

Thank you

• 1 console.log(id) - is it getting the value? Where's the click handler for those anchors? – billyonecan Commented Jun 27, 2013 at 12:33

Try changing the location of the page:

document.location = $("#" + id).attr('href');

why don't you just fire the __doPostBack directly:

function sortBy(sel) {
    var id = sel.value;
    __doPostBack(id,'');   
}

Use:

function sortBy(sel) { var id = sel.value; alert($("#" + id).length);//just for conforming that the element exists. $("#" + id).click();}

Actually, jQuery only triggers any event bound to an element. You are trying to call the href action.

If you don't want to change the markup, you could try this solution.

Otherwise, you will have to change your html markup to bind javascript events & then try triggering it.

Good luck!

Everything works as intended!

JSFiddle proof.

Make sure you have an element with the id sortById and sortByLastName !

JavaScript/jQuery

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#sortByDate').click(function(){
        alert('Sort By Date Click Event fired!');
    })
});
function sortBy(sel) {
    var id = sel.value;
    $("#" + id).trigger("click");
}

Alternative

Force the window.location change

JavaScript/jQuery

function sortBy(sel) {
    var id = sel.value;
   window.location =  $("#" + id).attr('href');
}

Note: You won't see any change in JSFiddle:

Refused to display 'https://www.google.ca/' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'.
