I want to automatically click a button on a web page. I have the following code to do so:

let script = document.createElement("script");
script.src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js";
script.type = "text/javascript";
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script);

$("button.myButton").click();

When i run it, it doesn't click the button. Help.

You probably need to wait for the script to load. – evolutionxbox Jan 19 '22 at 15:10

Do you see any errors in your console? – Heretic Monkey Jan 19 '22 at 15:16

I bet the console is saying `$ is not defined`, which would mean jQuery isn't loaded yet. Why not use a regular ` – Jeremy Thille Jan 19 '22 at 15:22

@freedomn-m my bad - I had that issue previously but it seems to no longer be the case. I'll remove the comment to remove the misinformation. – Rory McCrossan Jan 19 '22 at 16:17
@RoryMcCrossan The rest of the comment was useful... – freedomn-m Jan 19 '22 at 16:19
