I am trying to simulate a mouse click event on GWT (Google Web Toolkit) Application in <=IE8 (using fireEvent
, not dispatchEvent
)
A sample custom button can be found here: http://samples.gwtproject.org/samples/Showcase/Showcase.html#!CwCustomButton (The toggle button is easiest to see if the click was processed)
The major boilerplate for simulating the click can be found here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/6158050 (This is where I got the simulate
function used below)
I have been able to successfully simulate the click event by using the following commands for IE9+ (in this case simulate used dispatchEvent
)
simulate(document.getElementById("gwt-debug-cwCustomButton-toggle-normal"), "mouseover"); simulate(document.getElementById("gwt-debug-cwCustomButton-toggle-normal"), "mousedown"); simulate(document.getElementById("gwt-debug-cwCustomButton-toggle-normal"), "mouseup");
In my application the fireEvent
fails, because GWT's $wnd.event
is null. (Line: 117, https://github.com/stephenh/google-web-toolkit/blob/master/user/src/com/google/gwt/user/client/impl/DOMImplTrident.java)
If there is no way to simulate the click with plain JS
, then is there a way to use GWT's EventDispatcher
to simulate the click?
