Thanks! When submit() (for some unknown reason…) didn’t work, this is nice :)

This is great and halfway to what I need. I actually want to simulate a button push when a certain key is pressed.
What I have is a web page that shows video clips. I have “prev” and “next” buttons. Sometimes the buttons are (intentionally) off the visible page. What I want to do is capture keys to simulate a button click. The button push actually results in the page being reloaded with the prev/next video clip. So I’m not using checkboxes just a plain old key capture. The way it works is that once the page is loaded if I click anywhere on the page (document)it gives it focus and then when I click the appropriate key (P/N) it does what I would expect. However because it reloads the page I lose focus and so have to click on the page again. (Yeah probably bad design in the first place but it is what it is at this point.) So I tried to get around this by something like or but it doesn’t seem to work. So my question is how do I set focus on the document itself after it loads? (Oh and this is a page within a frameset to boot. :-) )

What if you have an control and you are trying to simulate the click event? I’m trying to fire a server-side event that’s why i need the asp:button.

You can’t use getElementById(“Button_ID”) right? Do you need the ClientID?

Thanks…

Hi, I’m looking for something like this:

function fireEvent (x, y, type) {…}

Does somebody know’s any function like above?
Because I need to simulate an event at X,Y with the mouse.

Example: fireEvent( 100, 50, “mousedown” );

Thanks.

Hi Henrique,

Yes, you can try the following instead:

Click Me

Very Nice!
But do you know how to set this kind of click on a link object with HREF instead ONCLICK?
Thanks.
