Execute click event on load

I have a click event function like so:

        $('.expand2').click(function(e) {
            alert('in');
            e.preventDefault();
            var obj = $(this);
...

I need to execute it after page load, as well as clicking on the link with class="expand2".

How would i simulate a click event right after the page load for the first on the for开发者_JS百科m with a class "expand2"??

I've tried this:

$(function(){
    $('.expand2:first').click();
}

didn't work.

$(document).ready(function() { ... }) is just shorthand for $(function() { ... }) so that shouldn't be your problem. Provided you've copied the code correctly, it just looks as though you forgot to close your brackets

EDIT: roXon's demo with $(function(){}) just to show you it works the same http://jsfiddle.net/rWbUD/1/

DEMO

$('.expand2').click(function(){
   alert('clicked')
});

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.expand2:first').click();
})

Have you tried this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.expand2:first').click();
})

See the documents for this.

If this doesn't work can you provide a jsFiddle demonstrating your problem?

$(document).ready(function() {
   $('.expand2:first').click();

});

Use $(document).ready()

$(document).ready(function(){
       $('.expand2:first').click();
});
