Question

Is there a way to create a click event(or effect) that repeat the last click.

I need no jQuery nor Mootools nor any other javascript lib, just in pure JavaScipt.

You want to Google for ‘firing events manually in JavaScript’ or ‘simulate events in JavaScript’.

Since you captured the last event, you know what it is and can feed it into a function. Put a timer or counter on it to stop after a specified period of time or repeats.

Here is some sample code:

function fireEvent (element, event) {
   if (document.createEventObject) {
   // dispatch for IE
   var evt = document.createEventObject ();
   return element.fireEvent ('on' + event, evt)
} else{
   // dispatch for firefox + others
   var evt = document.createEvent ("HTMLEvents");
   evt.initEvent (event, true, true ); // event type, bubbling, cancellable
   return !element.dispatchEvent (evt);
}
