Create event with submit button

I need some help on coding my project. Can you please help me to finish my project. I need to create .click event to anchor, the code will be as follows:

$("form").submit(function() {
  if ($("input:first").val() == "something") { 
    // anchor tag should be clicked and input should find submitted target.
  }
}

Shortly I want to create search 开发者_如何学Pythonform which creates click event and finds entered target.

Thank you for your assistance in advance!

If I understand your question correctly, you’re trying to jump to an anchor in the page based on what’s entered in the form.

$('form').submit(function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  if ($('input:first', this).val() == 'something') {
    // anchor tag should be clicked and input should find submitted target.
    window.location.hash = 'example-hash';
  }
)};

If there are multiple options, you could use switch:

$('form').submit(function(e) {
  var val = $('input:first', this).val(),
      hash;
  e.preventDefault();
  switch (val) {
    case 'foo':
      hash = 'some-hash';
      break;
    case 'bar':
      hash = 'some-other-hash';
      break;
    default:
      hash = 'default-hash';
      break;
  }
  window.location.hash = hash;
)};

Assuming you want to override the default submit-behavior and click an anchor instead:

$("form").submit(function(e) {
  if ($("input:first").val() == "something") { 
       $("#anchorelementId").trigger('click');
       e.preventDefault(); // Prevents the submit-behavior from your form.
  }
}
