Simulating clicks on the DOM node of the GMAIL page.

Hello:

I want to simulate click events on the elements on the Gmail page.
Problem is, i am able to simulate it on the elements on the side bar
(viz. compose mail, inbox, etc) but was not able to use the same
function for the actual emails.

I suspected this to be a security issue as when i do a createEvent(),
it should correspond to the document object of the container frame.
But this also did not work. Sometimes, the page just hangs when my
simulate click function is called. I am not sure whether gmail is
doing somethin fishy... Can anybody shed some light?

I used the normal click function on the mozilla examples page:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:document.createEvent and i am
sure that i am calling this function on the exact element on the DOM,
which i confirmed using the DOM inspector.

Thanks in advance...
