How to dispatch a double click event on an element?

Question

I can dispatch a simple click event (without any optional parameters) with:

var clickEvt = document.createEvent(\"MouseEvents\");
clickEvt.initEvent(\"click\         


        

Answer 1

The feauture used in the accepted answer (Event.initEvent()) has been deprecated.

Instead, use specific event consructors like Event()

So to answer your question, it would be something like :

var doubleClickEvent = new Event('dblclick');      //define double click event

element.dispatchEvent(doubleClickEvent);           //trigger double click even
