javascript command to implement button control

[Steve]

asp.net 2.0

I have a simple button control which implements some page behind code
when it is clicked.

I am looking for a simple javascript command which will in effect cause
a click on the button. i.e. act as if someone has clicked on the
button. i.e. do the same thing.

I will be calling this javascript command from another normal html
button on the page where I can't use asp.net. I know it seems like a
strange request, but there is a good reason for it.

Can anyone help?

document.getElementById('IdOfTheButtonToClick').cl ick();

Excellent. Thank you so much for that Goran. It really helped me out a
lot. :-)

To be complete, this does not work in Firefox.

Looking for a better way now.

Of course it does. My wrong, sorry. I tested using a button with a
"name", but without an "id", and document.getElementById fails in
Firefox (which is correct). However it succeeds in IE (wrongly).

So to summarize, click() is also available in Firefox.

Sorry about the confusion.
