I have event listener myObject.addEventListener('click',this.doSomething,false) on element. It works fine when I do mouse click but I cannot figure out how to trigger click from JavaScript. It seems like element.click() does not work for divs?

I am using jQuery and I have also tried trigger('click') but nothing is happening.

How can I in JavaScript execute the EventListener?

Update:

Here is sample code

• There are tons of exact duplicates, e.g. how can I trigger a JavaScript event click, JavaScript: Invoking click-event of an anchor tag from javascript, etc. – maerics Commented Jun 23, 2011 at 20:24
• Neither of those "duplicates" are formulated with event listeners in mind. – zjmiller Commented Jun 23, 2011 at 20:59
• Yes, this is specific for Event Listener, if I was using normal jQuery .click() listener the code works just fine but seems like addEventListener behaves differently. – jpkeisala Commented Jun 26, 2011 at 9:38

Can you bind the event using jQuery instead?

$(myobject).click(function() {

});

Then

myobject.trigger('click');

would programmatically trigger the click.

To trigger a click event listener added via addEventListener, you need to manually dispatch a click event, using either dispatchEvent (for standards-pliant browsers) or fireEvent (for IE < 9).

Try this:

myObject.click; // no `()`

OR:

(myObject.click)();
