IE firing anything else but click

Question

I just wonder is there's any way to fire any event via IE's event-triggering implementation - fireEvent. I've tried to use it but failed with all event except click. The only reason i've get interested with this issue it curiousity, thus, any answers like "just do not trigger events, it is a bad idea" - all such answers would be considered, well...not full)))

thanks in advance

Answer 1

i had problems with that too, but jquery sometimes works, give it a try:

var eventObject = {};
eventObject.type = 'keydown';
eventObject.ctrlKey = true;
eventObject.altKey = false;
eventObject.shiftKey = false;
eventObject.metaKey = false;
eventObject.screenX = false;
eventObject.screenY = false;
eventObject.clientX = false;
eventObject.clientY = false;
eventObject.relatedTarget = this;
eventObject.button = false;
eventObject.keyCode = 80;
eventObject.charCode = 0;
eventObject.bubbles = false;
eventObject.cancelable = false;
eventObject.windowObject = false;
eventObject.detail = false;
$(document).trigger({type: 'keydown', ctrlKey: true, altKey: false, which: 80, originalEvent:eventObject });
