Activate the event handler of an HTML element created with MooTool's extended element
<p>In browsing a JavaScript file, I see the following line:</p>

<pre><code>this.close = new Element('a', {id:'close-btn', href: 'javascript:void(0);', 'class': this.typeprefix + '-deletebutton', events: {click: this.remove.bind(this)}}).inject(this.bit);
</code></pre>

<p>I'm guessing that new Element() is a MooTools extended element.   I can't seem to programmatically fire the MooTool's click event.</p>

<p>I tried</p>

<pre><code>document.getElementById('close-btn').onclick.apply(document.getElementById('close-btn'));
</code></pre>

<p>but nothing happened.  Each of the following lines below gave me an undefined:</p>

<pre><code>alert(document.getElementById('close-btn').click);
alert(document.getElementById('close-btn').onclick);
alert(document.getElementById('close-btn').events);
alert(document.getElementById('close-btn').['events']);
</code></pre>

<p>Anyone have any ideas on how to programmatically fire the anchor's click event?</p>
