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.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
