auto double click with only javascript

Question

I want to make an autoDoubleClick function by only javascript.Example:

    var btn = document.getElementById("btn");
    btn.addEventListener("double",function(e){
        alert("Some thing");
    });

when we call function

autoDoubleClick(btn)

so it will auto double click. Can you give me some ideal ??? (only javascript no jquery)

Are you trying to listen for a double click, or actually perform a double click? — Spencer D, Aug 11 '16 at 05:09

The event name is dblclick. For triggering the event you can use the HTMLElement.prototype.dispatchEvent method:

btn.dispatchEvent(new Event('dblclick'));

@Lucy What works on IE? :) That method is related to `addEventListener`. The method support on IE is similar to `addEventListener`. For supporting older versions of IE you can define helper functions.
