How do I programmatically click on an element in JavaScript?

In IE, I can just call element.click() from JavaScript – how do I accomplish the same task in Firefox? Ideally I’d like to have some JavaScript that would work equally well cross-browser, but if necessary I’ll have different per-browser JavaScript for this.

So you should use this method instead:

JavaScript

and fire it on an element like this:

JavaScript

as shown here.
