只是建议一个不需要手动调用监听器事件的替代方案:

无论您的事件侦听器做什么，都要将其移动到一个函数中，并从事件侦听器调用该函数。

然后，您还可以在需要完成与事件触发时相同的事情的其他任何地方调用该函数。

我发现这种方法不那么“代码密集”，也更容易阅读。

注意:initEvent方法现在已弃用。其他回答功能最新的和建议的做法。

你可以在ie8或更低版本上使用fireEvent，在大多数其他浏览器上使用W3C的dispatchEvent。要创建想要触发的事件，可以根据浏览器使用createEvent或createEventObject。

下面是一段不言自明的代码(来自原型)，它可以触发元素上可用的事件数据:

var event; // The custom event that will be created
if(document.createEvent){
    event = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents");
    event.initEvent("dataavailable", true, true);
    event.eventName = "dataavailable";
    element.dispatchEvent(event);
} else {
    event = document.createEventObject();
    event.eventName = "dataavailable";
    event.eventType = "dataavailable";
    element.fireEvent("on" + event.eventType, event);
}

你可以使用下面的代码来使用Element方法触发事件:

if (!Element.prototype.triggerEvent) {
    Element.prototype.triggerEvent = function (eventName) {
        var event;

        if (document.createEvent) {
            event = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents");
            event.initEvent(eventName, true, true);
        } else {
            event = document.createEventObject();
            event.eventType = eventName;
        }

        event.eventName = eventName;

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

if (!Element.prototype.triggerEvent) { Element.prototype.triggerEvent = function (eventName) { var event; if (document.createEvent) { event = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents"); event.initEvent(eventName, true, true); } else { event = document.createEventObject(); event.eventType = eventName; } event.eventName = eventName; if (document.createEvent) { this.dispatchEvent(event); } else { this.fireEvent("on" + event.eventType, event); } }; } var input = document.getElementById("my_input"); var button = document.getElementById("my_button"); input.addEventListener('change', function (e) { alert('change event fired'); }); button.addEventListener('click', function (e) { input.value = "Bye World"; input.triggerEvent("change"); }); <input id="my_input" type="input" value="Hellow World"> <button id="my_button">Change Input</button>

function fireMouseEvent(obj, evtName) {
    if (obj.dispatchEvent) {
        //var event = new Event(evtName);
        var event = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
        event.initMouseEvent(evtName, true, true, window,
                0, 0, 0, 0, 0, false, false, false, false, 0, null);
        obj.dispatchEvent(event);
    } else if (obj.fireEvent) {
        event = document.createEventObject();
        event.button = 1;
        obj.fireEvent("on" + evtName, event);
        obj.fireEvent(evtName);
    } else {
        obj[evtName]();
    }
}

var obj = document.getElementById("......");
fireMouseEvent(obj, "click");

HTML

<a href="demoLink" id="myLink"> myLink </a>
<button onclick="fireLink(event)"> Call My Link </button>

JS

// click event listener of the link element --------------  
document.getElementById('myLink').addEventListener("click", callLink);
function callLink(e) {
    // code to fire
}

// function invoked by the button element ----------------
function fireLink(event) {                   
    document.getElementById('myLink').click();      // script calls the "click" event of the link element 
}

修改@Dorian对IE工作的回答:

document.addEventListener("my_event", function(e) {
  console.log(e.detail);
});

var detail = 'Event fired';

try {

    // For modern browsers except IE:
    var event = new CustomEvent('my_event', {detail:detail});

} catch(err) {

  // If IE 11 (or 10 or 9...?) do it this way:

    // Create the event.
    var event = document.createEvent('Event');
    // Define that the event name is 'build'.
    event.initEvent('my_event', true, true);
    event.detail = detail;

}

// Dispatch/Trigger/Fire the event
document.dispatchEvent(event);
