How do I simulate a keypress into a input tag without jQuery? I looked at Simulate keypress without jquery but it didn't seem to help. Example of what I'm trying to do:
<inputobject>.simulatekeypress('a');
Please do not submit any jquery answers.

Do you want to programmatically stuff a character into a `` box? What happens to the existing value in the input box, do you overwrite it? – Old Geezer Oct 03 '21 at 08:42

Why not just set the value? – RoToRa Oct 04 '21 at 10:20
