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

The Mozilla Developer Network provides the following explanation:

1. Create an event using event = document.createEvent("KeyboardEvent")
2. Init the keyevent

using:

event.initKeyEvent (type, bubbles, cancelable, viewArg, 
       ctrlKeyArg, altKeyArg, shiftKeyArg, metaKeyArg, 
           keyCodeArg, charCodeArg)

3. Dispatch the event using yourElement.dispatchEvent(event)

I don't see the last one in your code, maybe that's what you're missing. I hope this works in IE as well...
