jquery trigger doesn't open popup window work, how to?

Question

i have a small problem with a jquery click trigger. in my index.php i have at the begining of the page:

if ($oauth == 'yes') {
echo "test";
        ?>
        <script>
            $(document).ready(function(){
                $("#ajax").trigger('click');
            });
        </script>
        <?php
}

then in the body:

<a class="ajax" id="ajax" href="#" title="Sync">click</a>
<div style="display:none;">
    <div id="login_user">content here...</div>
</div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".ajax").colorbox({width:"400px", height:"280px", inline:true, href:"#login_user"});
});
</script>

if i click on the link i get the lightbox, but if the php condition is true nothing happens, the links doesn't get triggered but the test gets echoed out.

any ideas on how to debug this?

thanks

Answer 1

I think the problem is that you have 2 $(document).ready functions and the first one will be triggered first.

So the #ajax element isn't a colorbox yet. Try to switch the document ready functions
