The method you're using dispatches events based on actual screen positions.  If 
display:none is set on the iframe, there are no actual screen positions 
involved, so it can't work.  As a result it bails out.

If you want to just dispatch a DOM click event (as opposed to closely simulating 
an actual mouse click), I'd use the DOM event APIs for that purpose...
