simulate button click

This may be an easy question, but I cant seem to figure it out. I am wondering if I can programaticly fire the onControlClicked event of a button from another javascript function.

My first thought was to create a function that contains all the things I want to do, and then fire the function inside the buttons onControlClicked event. Then I could just call the function from anywhere.

This aproach seemed like a round about way at this. If I put several things inside the onControlClicked event it seems like there should be a way to call it later.

Please help.

You can just call it like any other method -

button.onControlClicked = function(){...};

...
button.onControlClicked();

I knew it was something that I just really overlooked.

Thanks
