How do I simulate a click or keydown event?

You could use the DOM Level 2 Event Model, like.

You could use the DOM Level 2 Event Model, like: function simulateClick(element) { var evt = document. CreateEvent("MouseEvents"); evt. InitMouseEvent("click", true, true, window, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, false, false, false, false, 0, null); cb.

DispatchEvent(element); } Demo: jsfiddle.net/4yUqL/66/ This will truly simulate a mouseclick on an element. Regardless how events were bound.

Demo's not working – qwertymk Jan 18 at 14:42 That didn't work but KeyboardEvent did :). Accepted! Var evt = document.

CreateEvent("KeyboardEvent"); evt. InitKeyboardEvent("keypress", true, true, null, false, false, false, false, 0, 0); element. DispatchEvent(evt); – acidzombie24 Jan 18 at 14:46 @qwertymk: It does for me.In all browsers except IE (8) – acidzombie24 Jan 18 at 14:47 well, I'm not quite sure how many browsers this implement already.

FireFox 3.6.13 works well for me. – jAndy Jan 18 at 14:48 @qwertymk: Does this one work for you? I havent tried to make this one FF compatible.

No jQuery tag around here :( – jAndy Jan 18 at 14:18 2 OPs use of .val() implies jQuery. – Roatin Marth Jan 18 at 14:20 @jAndy, there's what looks like jQuery code in the question though. – Box9 Jan 18 at 14:20 It doesn't work.

I suspect it only triggers events obtain through jquery – acidzombie24 Jan 18 at 14:24 Kind of illogical to downvote, but whatever. It will only work on jQuery events, so if you have $('something'). Click(function(){}); you can use $('something').

Trigger('click'); – Robert Jan 18 at 18:32.

. Trigger('click') in jQuery might achieve what you're trying to do. It will fire all the handlers attached to the click event.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
