Automatically click the button for you if there is a date - php

Question

I have a file called file.php which has:
$row2= pg_fetch_array($result2);
$website = 'http://validate/?id='.$newDateString;
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><?php echo'<a href="'.$website.'">'. $row['name']; ?></td>
The code sends to a file named jasmine.php the url with the date since jasmine contains a calendar. It sends it when you click on the date which contains a link to jasmine.
Jasmine.php:
<div id="content">
<h2>Hello, Please let me know which date you are looking for </h2>
<div><label style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Verdana;">Posting Date: </label></div><br />
<input type="text" id="date" value= "<?php echo $_GET['id']?>" class="css-input" placeholder="Posting Date..." readonly="readonly" /><br /><br />
<input type="button" id="validate" value="Let's work!" class="btn" />
<input type="button" id="clear" value="Wanna go Again?" class="btn" />
</div>
<div id="contentarea2" style="display: none;">
<h2>Results:</h2>
<div class="view_alerts">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
Code
</td>
<td>
# Posted
</td>
</tr>
<tbody id="view_alerts_tbody">
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
In Jasmine, I get the date already written for me from file.php, all I need to do is click the button so it could show me a table, is there a way, that it clicks the button on its own if theres a date written, so when I go on that link, it already puts the date and takes me to the table in jasmine.php

Answer 1

Taking the code from the answer above the if statement here should evaluate the input fields value (id is '#date'). An empty value will default to false hence the ! before the selector.
jQuery(document).ready(function()
{
if(!$('#date').val()) {
jQuery("#Your-Button-ID").click();
}
});

Answer 2

You can use below JQuery code for your purpose. When page load is completed (i.e. Page is ready)
jQuery(document).ready(function()
{
jQuery("#Your-Button-ID").click();
});
