hi ...

the typical way is as follows:

[HTML]<script type="text/javascript">
function do_the_click(bt n) {
alert('you clicked the button with id = ' + btn.id);
}
</script>

<input type="button" value="click me" id="clk_btn" onclick="do_the _click(this);"/>[/HTML]

kind regards

Are you sure "form:b2" is the id and not the name?

Are you sure "form:b2" is the id and not the name?

Alternative script method for the following:
[code=javascript]
document.getEle mentById('formI D:fieldId').cli ck();
[/code]

Are you giving the solution or asking a question?

Show the generated HTML, not the JSP. View source on the browser and post the HTML/Javascript.

Sundar, please use CODE tags when posting source code. See the REPLY GUIDELINES on the right side of the page next time you post.

Try this:

[HTML]document.getEle mentById('clk_btn').click();[/HTML]

clk_btn is the ID of your button, if the id is unique in the document that will work. IE and Mozilla have different ways of handling ID serches in the DOM tree thats why it worked on IE. IE creates all the DOM structure into the JS object hierarchy, which means that you can locate this button (assuming its inside a FORM called f1) using something like this...

document.f1.clk_btn

However, that's not a JavaScript standard (acording to W3C). Unlike IE, Mozilla is a http://www.w3c.org standard compliant browser (sort of), so that will not work in Mozilla.
