Calling onclick or onmouseup on an IMG tag

[Risc OS]

The method click() doesn't seem to work on img tags, even though they can have an onclick attribute. Is there another way I can simulate the clicking of an img?

[RichardRotterdam]

putting it in a link maybe? and click should work for images

<img src="some_image.jpg" onclick="alert('yes you clicked the image now be happy with it')"/>

and what do you mean with click() if the onclick works?

did you add an onclick handler to the image; so DOM would know what to do - when click() was called? also note; that if you are trying to trigger click() onload - you could be running into browser security walls - if that is what your doing; then that may be why you are not able too get click() to work.
