The mousedown event occurs when the left mouse button is pressed down over the selected element. The mousedown() method triggers the mousedown event, or attaches a function to run when a mousedown event occurs. Tip: This method is often used together with the mouseup() method.
The onmousedown event occurs when a user presses a mouse button over an element. Tip: The order of events related to the onmousedown event (for the left/middle mouse button): onmousedown. onmouseup.
To cause a MouseDown event for a form to occur, press the mouse button in a blank area or record selector on the form. To cause a MouseDown event for a form section to occur, press the mouse button in a blank area of the form section.
The mousedown event is fired at an Element when a pointing device button is pressed while the pointer is inside the element.
I threw together a CodePen demo for you:
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/lrAxp
var element = document.getElementById('testButton');
if(document.createEvent)
{
element.dispatchEvent(new Event('mousedown'));
}
else{
// Internet Explorer (I think)
element.fireEvent("onmousedown", event);
}
