How does the server technology affect how you do this?

Have you considered:

  if (parentcontrol.onclick) { parentcontrol.onclick();}

which doesn't simulate a click, but there is no reasonable cross-
browser way of doing that anyway (see below).

Dispatching events is another story - there's IE's fireEvent and the
W3C dispatchEvent, both will bubble and fire other hanlders, but
triggering default actions associated with the elements is mostly not
supported.

e.g. dispatching a click event to a link does not cause the link to be
followed, however sending a click to a sumbit button submits the form
in Firefox (dispatchEvent) but not in IE (fireEvent).
