Hi to all i want to simulate the .click() function for all Firefox based Browser.

All work good in IE if i use this function:

javascript:document.getElementById("BUTTON_ID").click();

But Firefox doesnt support that, i have found this articole here
i have load my page in kmeleon and inserct this into the url bar:

javascript:HTMLElement.prototype.click = function() {var evt = this.ownerDocument.createEvent('MouseEvents');evt.initMouseEvent('click', true, true, this.ownerDocument.defaultView, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, false, false, false, false, 0, null);this.dispatchEvent(evt);} document.getElementById("BUTTON_ID").click();

But nothing is happened...how i can do that?

Hi!

noone can help me?

What does the Error Console say? (Tools menu)

P.S.: K-meleon is not Firefox based browser but Gecko based browser as Firefox

EDIT: typo and PS

The console always says that:

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://global/content/console.xul
Line Number 14, Column 1:<window id="JSConsoleWindow"
^

Hi!

O_o that is what it says after clear it and run that code?

By the way, the code you posted, is the actual code you would like to run? I didn't pay much attention to it, but looks... not very functional...

I mean, if you have assigned an ID to a button, and you call that id, theoretically, works.

If your button, or link, or whatever, has the ID XXX and you type in the URL bar javascript:document.getElementById('xxx').click() It is enough to work

.click() function dont work on gecko, i have to emulate the .click function

Hi!

Works for me and I'm using K-meleon 1.1.6, that has an old Gecko engine (rv:1.8.1.23 Gecko/20090825) with javascript 1.8.1, just as I told with the button xxx example I told.

Im using K-Meleon 1.6.0 and i can't switch to a minor release number becouse i'm using some macro language functions that can't be compatibile with previous version. Noone can test this with kmeleon 1.6? Just to understand if it dont work on this version or my pc are crazy

Thanks to all!

Work too (the example given by me of a page with a button with xxx).

I think we should see the full html/js code to see where exactly is the problem as the error given by you hasn't sense (for what you are trying), at least for me

I'm going to edit this post, just to instruct you about some test just on this page

EDIT:

Curious, it works for input but not for a tags LOL

Ok, as I can do what I was going to do, just, in this page type in the url bar or copy and paste this:

javascript:alert(document.getElementsByTagName('a')[59].href)

What, as I said, is curious, you can click and "input", but not "a" link xD

I was going to tell you to use click to reply my quoting my message

EDIT again:

Nah, nothing :/

For "a" tag says click is not a funtion. But as you need it for a button, calling it by getting its id, instead tag, with what I said, should work.
