document.images['imgname'].click()?

[Mad Joe]

This piece of code is working in IE, but not in my Firefox.
The last link should simulate onclick event on the upper image.
Can you suggest me how to make it crossbrowser compatible, please?

....
<a href="http://www.google.com"><img src="img.jpg" id="mypic"
name="mypic"></a><br />
<a href="#something"
onclick="alert(document.images['mypic'].src)">Browser compatibility
check!</a><br />
<a href="#something" onclick="document.images['mypic'].click();">Onclick
event simulation on the upper image!</a>
....

Thanks!
Joe

Artificial events are not propagated by hierarchy, they are applied
directly to the element they are called for and they stop at this
point.

Also in application to clicks a good part of "common annoyance" and
"interface stealing" protection is based on distinguish between
"physical click" (made by mouse) and "programmed click" (made by
script), so I don't expect it will work as you possibly want even if
you apply it directly to the link itself. You may try though.

You've got the point... I gave up from that!
Thanks anyway!
