To create the event you want to fire, you can use either createEvent or createEventObject depending on the browser.

Here is a self-explanatory piece of code (from prototype) that fires an event dataavailable on an element:

var event; // The custom event that will be created

if (document.createEvent) {
event = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents");
event.initEvent("name-of-custom-event", true, true);
} else {
event = document.createEventObject();
event.eventType = "name-of-custom-event";
}

event.eventName = "name-of-custom-event";

if (document.createEvent) {
element.dispatchEvent(event);
} else {
element.fireEvent("on" + event.eventType, event);
