Use a Firefox bookmarklet to fire a mouse click on an element?

Question

I'm trying to use a Firefox bookmarklet to fire an onclick event in an asp.net based web form, without physically clicking on the element. The URL of the page doesn't change no matter where I navigate on the site. Even if I could use document.getElementById("id").click(); that would be fine.

So far I have this code that I'm using in a bookmarklet

javascript: document.getElementById("ticket").click();

It doesn't work. I can get it to work on elements with link id's but not elements with td id's. To my understanding, it doesn't work since it's a td id I'm working with and not a button/input/link id. Here's the element's code:

< td id="ticket" class="menu" nowrap="" align="center" onmouseout="this.className=this.className.replace(' highlighted', '')" onmouseover="this.className=this.className + ' highlighted'" onclick="menuClick('ticket', null, ''); ">

Any suggestions on how to fire a mouse click on that element (using a bookmarklet)? Thanks in advance.

Works fine for me. Your problem may be the space between '<' and 'td'.
