dispatching click event to a link. it doesn't work.

I tried the javascript code [1] dispatching click event to a link in
Firefox(2.0.0.4), it does not work, it does trigger onclick handlers
but doesn't trigger browser default action, that is, opening the link.
it seems there is nothing wrong in the code.
maybe it's bug (or feature).

It is a security feature that only the onclick handler is being called
but the link href is not being followed.
