I need to use javascript/jquery to click a button on a managed custom aura component when the page loads. Its managed so I can't edit the component code.

I can add the Javascript to the page using "Edit Head Markup" in the Experience Builder.

The Lightning Locker DOM protection is not allowing me to get the element I need to trigger a click.

Is there any way around this?

  • set the api version of your Aura component to v39, then it won't use the Locker Service.

    This is an X-Y Problem. As you've discovered, what you've tried isn't working. There might be another solution, but you'll need to tell us what it is you're trying to do (not this solution, the Y problem, but the original X problem).

The solution was to use the x-oasis-script html tag that disables the shadow dom. I added style="display:none" otherwise the code shows when the page is loading.

I had to use a setTimeout to wait for the page to load completely because the components I needed to access were not fully loaded when the dom or window were loaded, but I'm sure is a better wait to wait for an element to load.

<x-oasis-script style="display:none">
window.addEventListener('load', function () {
  setTimeout(() => {  
        
var clickEvent = new MouseEvent("click", {
    "view": window,
    "bubbles": true,
    "cancelable": false
});

element=document.querySelector('a[title="XXX"]');
element.dispatchEvent(clickEvent);

}, 2000);
});
    
</x-oasis-script>
