Hi everyone,
I want to simulate a link click in Firefox using Javascript. Directly
navigating to the address is not enough in my case.
I've been struggling and making research about this for quite a while now,
read many forums and posts.
I try a specific code in a Javascript console and it works, but when I use
the same code on a GreaseMonkey script the link is not clicked.
Here goes the code I'm trying:
link = document.getElementById('link');
alert('link = ' + link);
function fireEvent(obj,evt){
alert('fireEvent');
var fireOnThis = obj;
if( document.createEvent ) {
alert('createEvent');
var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
evObj.initEvent( evt, true, false );
fireOnThis.dispatchEvent(evObj);
} else if( document.createEventObject ) {
fireOnThis.fireEvent('on'+evt);
}
}
fireEvent(link, 'click');
The link element is obtained correctly but the alert('fireEvent') never gets
triggered.
Is my approach correct or should I try other way?
Does Firefox somehow prevents clicking a link programatically?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Fede
