I know that we can use element.dispatchEvent(custom_event) to dispatch a custom event that we defined. My question is how to dispatch built-in events, such as submit, click, change, ...

I write form.on('submit', function(){}) to hanlde form submitting event. Then, I want to dispatch submit form by clicking on an X element.

X.on('click', function(){
    // dispatch form submit here
});

P/s: I'm using PrototyeJS

Have you tried `dispatchEvent` with the name of a built-in event type? – Bergi Oct 02 '14 at 15:21
@Bergi `dispatchEvent` doesn't accept string as parammeter's value – Tran Dinh Khanh Oct 02 '14 at 15:24
Then what is the `element.dispatchEvent('custom-event')` that you used? – Bergi Oct 02 '14 at 15:25
@Bergi sorry, I just edited my question, it should be `element.dispatchEvent(custom_event)` – Tran Dinh Khanh Oct 02 '14 at 15:28
@Bergi the `simulate` works fine. Hope a built-in way came realy soon. Thank you. – Tran Dinh Khanh Oct 02 '14 at 15:39
