Getting greasemonkey to click a button with onclick code
Kip
I just started using grease monkeys and am attempting to code a
greasemonkey script. This script is supposed to click this button
automatically when it goes to this website.
===website source code===
<form method="post" name="form1" id="s2t">
// Omitted info not related to button
<p style="display:none;"><input type="submit" name="save"
value="OK" id="fbbtn" class="btn" /></p>
<p><input type="button" value="OK" disabled=true id="fbsb"
class="btn" onclick="document.form1.action='/
s2t';document.getElementById('fbbtn').click(); this.disabled=true;" /
></p>
</form>
====================
Right now I am running this code:
var allInput, thisInput, allImg, thisImg;
allInput = document.evaluate(
'//input[@value]',
document,
null,
XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
null);
for (var i = 0; i < allInput.snapshotLength; i++) {
thisInput = allInput.snapshotItem(i);
if (thisInput.value == 'OK'){
thisInput.click();
}
}
It clicks the button but the webpage just refreshes itself instead of
doing what the button does when manually clicked.
Any suggestions to fix this so the button clicks as if manually done
is welcomed! Thanks in advanced.

on userscripts.org:
/* ===== Click on an element (borrowed from Facebook Fixer, @namespace http://userscripts.org/people/14536) ===== */
function click(elm) {
var evt = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
evt.initMouseEvent('click', true, true, window, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, false, false, false, false, 0, null);
elm.dispatchEvent(evt);
}
It works very nicely for everything I've tried it on so far. The basic
mechanism is to simulate a mouse click by dispatching a click event to
the element in question, which seems to do just about everything you
could wish (it does in fact trigger Firefox's built-in clicking
mechanisms, too).
HTH.

around with and see if I can get it to work. In my case there seems to
be a of elements that could be the one needing to be clicked. I was
looking around at the initMouseEvent parameters and it seems you can
offer a clientX, clientY, screenX, screenY to be clicked. Do you know
if I can have the mouse click somewhere on the screen without passing
an element?

That is, determine where the "click" should happen, x and y, and dispatch the corresponding coordinates (perhaps translated for the parent node's offsets) in the event to the parent node.
I strongly suggest taking a good look at the DOM2 event model spec at http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/ — it's a reasonably readable description of what exactly can be done with events. Also, https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM_Events and https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko-Specific_DOM_Events are good MDC resources for more tutorial/light-reference style purposes; read those closely too, perhaps before you read the spec.
Don't worry too much about reading the whole spec at once, of course; I'm still skimming through it, and re-reading bits here and there, and I'm a fast reader too.
The things to look for in particular in the spec are the bubbling and capture phases of event dispatch; try to understand as much of that as possible, and try different things out, too ;)
