Difference between button.click() and button.fireEvent('click')

Question

Why does .fireEvent() not work in IE9?

Why these two statements are not synonymous? this.button.click(); and this.button.fireEvent('click');

When I execute the first statement, it internally calls the second statement. But when I execute the second statement, it does not call the first statement internally. Why is this?

You can't have them call each other. Else, you'll be stuck in an infinite loop where they keep calling each other. — Chetter Hummin, Apr 22 '12 at 00:55
