I want to simulate a click event to the windows back button programtically..

I am using

- That worked for me, using the fireEvent to simulate a click on a button if a textfield wasn't empty and the return was received from the keyboard. Here is an example:
```
buttonName.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
    alert("It Works!");
});
textField.addEventListener('return', function(e) {
    if (textField.value != '') {
         buttonName.fireEvent('click');
    }
});
```

I don't think that's possible, unless i missed something from the api doc? The way I do this is just create a new function and drop all the code in there and just call it from the button and when you want to "programmatically" call the button. Does that make sense?

What i need is to "programmatically" call the button.
How do you do it?

It seems that the fireEvent functions are intended for passing messages between javascript execution environments, which does not appear to be the functionality you're after.

I want to do similar stuff, trying to write some BDD style acceptance tests that are supposed to programmatically "drive" my application.

Not having a lot of luck so far

- I believe that this functionality is not support in any recent version. Since this topic has been going for about 3 years now I wouldn't expect it added in.
