I want to have java script clicking a link on the page..I found something on the net that suggests adding a function like this:

function fireEvent(obj,evt){

    var fireOnThis = obj;
    if( document.createEvent ) {
      var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
      evObj.initEvent( evt, true, false );
      fireOnThis.dispatchEvent(evObj);
    } else if( document.createEventObject ) {
      fireOnThis.fireEvent('on'+evt);
    }
}

Then call it using:

fireEvent(document.getElementById('edit_client_link'),'click');

This seems to work fine for FF but with IE it doesn't work!

Any ideas?
