Firing a Keyboard Event in Safari, using JavaScript

Question

I\'m trying to simulate a keyboard event in Safari using JavaScript.

I have tried this:

var event = document.createEvent(\"KeyboardEvent\");
event.in         


        

Answer 1

This is due to a bug in Webkit.

You can work around the Webkit bug using createEvent('Event') rather than createEvent('KeyboardEvent'), and then assigning the keyCode property. See this answer and this example.
