When the user carries out certain actions on the page (pressing return in an input box for example) we need the page to react as if the user had clicked this div. The .click() function doesn't work (on firefox) however. Any ideas?
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<script>
function DoClick(sID)
{
var objDiv = document.getElementById(sI
if (objDiv != null) {
objDiv.click();
}
return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="test1" onclick="alert('div')">Cli
<input type="button" onclick="javascript:DoClic
</body>
</html>
