HTML DOM click() Method

The click() method is used to simulate the mouse click on an element. This method works exactly the same as the element is manually clicked.

Syntax:

HTMLElementObject.click()

Parameters: No parameters required.

Return Value: No return value.

Example: In this example, when the cursor goes over the radio button, it’ll execute the mouse click event and the radio button is checked as it is clicked manually.
