Interesting topic: JQuery / JavaScript - triggering button click event from another button
<input type="submit" name="savebutton" id="uniqueOne" />
<input type="submit" name="savebutton" id="uniqueTwo" />
I have implemented a feature on my site where the first button triggers a click on the second button using the following code: $("#uniqueTwo").click()
Functionality: When the first button is clicked manually, it automatically triggers a click event for the second button.
Note: The first button performs extensive database processing compared to the second button. The purpose of the second button's processing logic is to update specific data that was processed by the first button.
Problem:
However, I encountered an issue wherein the second button seems to surpass the processing done by the first button. As a result, the sessions are not properly initialized and there are no updates made in the database table during the second button's processing.
But interestingly, when I click the first button again (for the second time), the processing logic in the second button retrieves the data/values processed during the first click. This can be confirmed because there is an auto-increment value in the database that increments only during the first click.
