Input.click( ) — simulate a mouse-click on a form element
JavaScript 1.0
input.click( )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.
