Thanks for the pointers... :)
Here are the details:
Consider the situation:
<span>
<a>
To click
</a>
</span>
Whenever I call the dispatchEvent on the <a> tag, my click is
simulated as expected. But when i call the dispatchEvent on the <span>
tag, the link is not followed. Does the dispatchEvent depend upon the
type of DOM node? That is, can the click event be simulated only on
elemnts which are actually clickable by default (like <a> etc)? Cant
it be simulated on "any" element in the DOM?
Thanks once again...
