Clicking, pasting text and uploading files from extension - google-chrome

Question

So I'm basically developing an automated click-paste-and-upload system for mutiple texts and files inside a google page.
This method helped me get the instances of objects that I'm looking for: buttons, textboxes, richtextboxes, etc.
Now I want to work with them.
So for example I know the id of a button , and the function subscribed to its click event. How do I trigger the click event from the extension ? I've tried injecting a script with the click event handler (discovered with DOM inspector) at "document_startup" but I don't get an error or anything else.
Here's the content script! The loggerhead function should have inserted the script but I don't think it did. What might be the reason for the blow code not giving anything?
// Runs a function for every added DOM element that matches a filter
// filter -- either function(DOM_node){/*...*/}, returns true or false
// OR a jQuery selector
// callback -- function(DOM_node){/*...*/}
function watchNodes(filter, callback){
observer = new MutationObserver( function (mutations) {
mutations.forEach( function (mutation){
if(typeof filter === "function"){
$(mutation.addedNodes).filter(
function(i){ return filter(this); }
).each(
function(i){ callback(this); }
);
} else {
$(mutation.addedNodes).filter(filter).each(
function(i){ callback(this); }
);
}
});
});
// For every added element, a mutation will be processed
// with mutation.taget == parent
// and mutation.addedNodes containing the added element
observer.observe(document, { subtree: true, childList: true });
}
function loggerhead(node) {
console.log("passhead");
//also inject jquery
var jqueryEl = document.createElement('script');
jqueryEl.setAttribute('src', chrome.extension.getURL('jquery-1.11.1.min.js'));
jqueryEl.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
var scriptEl = document.createElement('script');
scriptEl.setAttribute('src', chrome.extension.getURL('script.js'));
scriptEl.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
node.appendChild(jqueryEl);
node.appendChild(scriptEl);
}
watchNodes("head", loggerhead);
// method not working
//var gmailHead = jQuery("head", document).get(0);
script.js contains the function of subscribed to the click event of the button that I've managed to find through the DOM inspector:
function Cdb(b){return function(){if(Vbb()){return Ddb(b,this,arguments)}else{var a=Ddb(b,this,arguments);a!=null&&(a=a.val);return a}}}

Answer 1

You should try to call the existing click handler like
buttonElement.click()
