Name

Input.click( ) — simulate a mouse-click on a form element

Availability

JavaScript 1.0

Synopsis

                  input.click(  )

Description

The click( ) method of a form element simulates a mouse-click on the form element but does not invoke the onclick event handler of the element.

The click( ) method is not often useful. Because it does not invoke the onclick event handler, it is not useful to call this method on Button elements -- they don’t have any behavior other than that defined by the onclick handler. Calling click( ) on a Submit or Reset element submits or resets a form, but this can be more directly achieved with the submit( ) and reset( ) method of the Form object itself.
