Question

Is there anyway in JavaScript which emulate user clicks an anchor?

Mozilla(Firefox ) does not implement that.

But is there any browser which does?

The click() function is not supposed to navigate to the href of the link. The jQuery’s one also doesn’t. The click() function will however fire all functions attached to the click event / onclick attribute. To change the window location to be the link href’s one, just do

window.location = linkElement.href;

You can even go a step further:

<script>
    function navigate(link) {
        window.location = link.href;
    }
</script>

<p><a id="link" href="http://google.com" onclick="navigate(this)">link</a>

<script>
    document.getElementById("link").click();
</script>

MSIE does it (incorrectly).
