[Greasemonkey] Re: dispatchEvent creates an error

[Andre]

right, but the link in my original mail points to an example:
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/domref/dom_el_ref36.html#1028419

Example:
	b = document.getElementById("button1");
	res = b.dispatchEvent("click");

and it "isn't required anyway" ... yes, it is. I want to trigger the 
event the first time without user intervention. The event handler code 
uses variables from its closure, so I cannot just call it as a function.

Actually, I just re-wrote it and now I can call it, but how do I use 
dispatchEvent correctly?
