    Yes, you can simulate mouse click. Please could you provide more informations e.g. post a page and describe what is needed to do?

    This also works in most browsers (not Mozilla/Filefox)
    document.getElementById('mydiv').click();

    Or you can use jQuery
    jQuery('#mydiv').click();

    To make it work on links, I think you need to add an onclick handler and then redirect the page.
