Thank you Andreas for clearing up that I should assign events like so:
events = map.events
The other part of this is that you have specify that the event you are
triggering is a left-click.
By tracing the code you see that you need to set the "which" attribute to 1 in
the object passed to triggerEvent(), otherwise onClick in featureclick.js
ignores the event.
So, this is what my code should have looked like:
events = map.events;
events.triggerEvent( 'mousedown', {xy: new OpenLayers.Pixel(0,0), which: 1},
map);
events.triggerEvent('mouseup', {xy: new OpenLayers.Pixel(0,0), which: 1}, map);
I'm assuming I can get tests written today. Although, I'm not exactly clear how
to submit them. If anyone wants to clue me in to that procedure I'd appreciate
it.
