this question has answer here:

• phantomjs; click element 11 answers

i run tests karma , phantomjs:

info [karma]: karma v0.12.32 server started @ http://localhost:9876/ info [launcher]: starting browser phantomjs info [phantomjs 1.9.8 (windows 7)]: connected on socket kvovdbbgtieuquv8aaaa wit

in test want click on paragraph (p) event-feedback:

// given  var element = appendtobody("<p id='hello-p'>hello hello world!</p>");  element.addeventlistener('click', function(event) {     console.log("1"); });  // when var p = document.getelementbyid("hello-p");  console.log(p); // log: <p id="hello-p">hello hello world!</p> console.log(p.id); // log: 'hello-p'  p.click(); // calling click 

i end having message:

typeerror: 'undefined' not function (evaluating 'p.click()')

q: why p undefined?

ok. bacause phantomjs based on webkit, have create/send event this:

  var cle = document.createevent("mouseevent");   cle.initevent("click", true, true);   var elem = document.getelementbyid('hello-p');   elem.dispatchevent(cle);
