Hi, I use this javascript to force a link click once the page is loaded.

document.getElementById('theLink').click();

But this only work in IE, does anybody know of a solution that also works for Mozilla?

Regards

click() is not a supported method on firefox. However, you can set up a custom prototype method to make it work. Just include this code somewhere on your page:
Code:
HTMLElement.prototype.click = function() {
var evt = this.ownerDocument.createEvent('MouseEvents');
evt.initMouseEvent('click', true, true, this.ownerDocument.defaultView, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, false, false, false, false, 0, null);
this.dispatchEvent(evt);
}

Here's a reference to where this can be found:
