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");

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);
}

我使用JavaScript搜索了鼠标悬停时的触发点击，鼠标下拉和鼠标上拉事件。我找到了胡安·门德斯提供的答案。点击这里获取答案。

点击这里是现场演示，下面是代码:

function fireEvent(node, eventName) {
    // Make sure we use the ownerDocument from the provided node to avoid cross-window problems
    var doc;
    if (node.ownerDocument) {
        doc = node.ownerDocument;
    } else if (node.nodeType == 9) {
        // the node may be the document itself, nodeType 9 = DOCUMENT_NODE
        doc = node;
    } else {
        throw new Error("Invalid node passed to fireEvent: " + node.id);
    }

    if (node.dispatchEvent) {
        // Gecko-style approach (now the standard) takes more work
        var eventClass = "";

        // Different events have different event classes.
        // If this switch statement can't map an eventName to an eventClass,
        // the event firing is going to fail.
        switch (eventName) {
        case "click": // Dispatching of 'click' appears to not work correctly in Safari. Use 'mousedown' or 'mouseup' instead.
        case "mousedown":
        case "mouseup":
            eventClass = "MouseEvents";
            break;

        case "focus":
        case "change":
        case "blur":
        case "select":
            eventClass = "HTMLEvents";
            break;

        default:
            throw "fireEvent: Couldn't find an event class for event '" + eventName + "'.";
            break;
        }
        var event = doc.createEvent(eventClass);

        var bubbles = eventName == "change" ? false : true;
        event.initEvent(eventName, bubbles, true); // All events created as bubbling and cancelable.

        event.synthetic = true; // allow detection of synthetic events
        // The second parameter says go ahead with the default action
        node.dispatchEvent(event, true);
    } else if (node.fireEvent) {
        // IE-old school style
        var event = doc.createEventObject();
        event.synthetic = true; // allow detection of synthetic events
        node.fireEvent("on" + eventName, event);
    }
};

值得注意的是，我们可以创建任何类型的预定义事件，并在任何地方收听。

我们并不局限于经典的内置事件。

在这个基本示例中，自定义事件interfacebuiltsuccessuserdefinedevent每3秒在self.document上分派一次

self.document。addEventListener('interfacebuiltsuccessuserdefinedevent'， () => console.log("WOW")， false) setInterval(() =>{//测试 self.document。dispatchEvent(新事件(interfacebuiltsuccessuserdefinedevent)) }， 3000) //测试

有趣的事实:元素可以侦听尚未创建的事件。

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);

参见: https://caniuse.com/#feat=customevent

如果你使用jQuery，你可以简单做到

$('#yourElement').trigger('customEventName', [arg0, arg1, ..., argN]);

然后用

$('#yourElement').on('customEventName',
   function (objectEvent, [arg0, arg1, ..., argN]){
       alert ("customEventName");
});

[arg0, arg1，…]， argN]表示这些参数是可选的。
