I'm developing a script for Greasemonkey, but I'm stuck trying to activate links via JavaScript.
The script should check the web page for a certain href link and, after finding it, it must activate it (like clicking on the link).
If it helps, the href I'd like to activate is a "javascript:FUNCTION" kind of link.

Reset to default 11Find the url that you want to direct the user to and then use
var href = ...//find url
window.location=href;
<html>
<body>
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
function somescript() {
window.location.href = document.getElementById('ololo').href;
}
</script>
<a href="javascript:alert('test');" id="ololo">test</a>
<br />
<a href="javascript:somescript()">click me</a>
</body>
</html>
For functionalities like these where an onclick has to be fired on elements, I find it easy and fast to use jquery. If you can include jquery, then you can use the click() function on that element.
