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.
