click() action on ‘hidden button’ with javascript causes page reload

Hi,

I’m using your button shortcode to give points for downloads or video views. I setup it with specific classes like ‘deck-download’ or ‘ps23-video-1’ then I trigger those with javascript function with might be attached to different elements on the page using this
document.querySelector('.deck-download').click();

or for videos:

document.querySelectorAll('.ps23-video').forEach((video, index) => video.onplay = function(){
pageVideosPlayed[index] ?  console.log(video ${index} played already) :  document.querySelector(.ps23-video-${index}).click(); 
  })
})

This approach seemed to work perfectly fine till now… when above causes instant page reload when any video is played.

Any suggestions?
