How do I make a chrome extension click a button on a page?

[Meowls]

Hi, I'm trying to create a Google Chrome extension that clicks a button when the extention is pressed. I'm in need of the code to simulate a mouse click on a button for my Java script file, I already have the basic formatting set up thanks to a few tutorials but I can't seem to find anything to help me simulate a button press, or one that I can understand at least.

Thank you (:

This looks like a general JavaScript and DOM question and not an extension specific one, so you should search for that using your favorite search engine.

For example -
