Hi!

I have been trying to simulate from javascript, a click on a link. Sounds simple, yes?

I have FF configured to open new pages in new tabs, by default. So I'd like the simulated click to open the page pointed to by the link, in a new tab. The way I'm simulating the click does attempt to open the page, but the built-in pop-up blocker treats that as a pop-up. That was a surprise to me!

I've created a couple trivial HTML pages to illustrate the problem.

Although I normally have quite a few "extensions" loaded into FF, I am using a separate very simple FF profile to try to make sure the extensions aren't causing the problem.

The first HTML page I'm using to test is literally this:

<meta charset="US-ASCII"> Click Me! <script type="text/javascript"> document.anchors[0].click() ; </script>


The page in the href is literally just this:

<meta charset="US-ASCII"> GOT IT!

I've also tried an alternative approach with initMouseEvent() and dispatchEvent() with an event sequence like, mouseover, mousedown, mouseup, click, but then nothing at all happens.

I would hope there should be a way to do this in FF that doesn't cause FF to treat the result as a pop-up, even then trying to open a page in another tab. But even if I wanted to configure the pop-up, it doesn't appear possible. I'm doing very simple testing with local pages, using the file: scheme. The file: scheme doesn't appear to be supported by the pop-up blocker.

Any explanation of how to do this in FF would be greatly appreciated!

See this pref for the behavior with JavaScript window.open() calls.

A good place to ask advice about web development is at the MozillaZine "Web Development/Standards Evangelism" forum.
