How might I simulate a button click w/ Javascript?

I am not asking how to call code that an event invokes. I want to fire the event itself.

Why don't I just create my own eventHandler and call it myself? Because I don't know how our form-building tool implemented it. It's not exposed for programmatic use.

Should be document.getElementById("button Id").click()
But that only works in IE. To make it work in Firefox, you have to do this (http://www.codingforums.com/showpost.php?p=34595&postcount=5).

What about object.onclick();?

Oh, nevermind... wasn't paying attention. ;)
