Hi,

I have a link and I need to force the onclick event. I need to say that the link was clicked even if the user didn't physically click the link.
Is this possible?

Thanks

If the link has an onclick handler defined then you can get a reference to the link using document.links or document.getElementById and then call lnk.onclick().

Hi

Thanks for the response.
Do you mean if the link is something like this:
<a href="http://p2p.wrox.com" onclick=window.open("http://p2p.wrox.com")>wrox</a>

If that is what you mean then the answer is no it doesn't have an event handler.
What can I do to generate the event?
Thanks

No, that's okay. But as the element doesn't have an ID you may need to loop through document.links until you find the one you need.

Hi collie!!

Another approach could be :
1>get the id of href.
2>attach onclick event at runtime
2>call the onclick event of that href that is attached in step 2.

Hope this will help you


Cheers :)
