$.dispatch

Triggers a native JavaScript event. For example:

$("a.action").dispatch("click");

sends a click to a.action. Like $.trigger, but this will fire non-jQuery event handlers as well.

$.dispatch options

You can add an optional dict as the second parameter. It can have any event properties as attributes. For example:

$("a.action").dispatch("click", { bubbles: true, cancelable: false });

• bubbles: whether the event bubbles or not. default: true
• cancelable: whether the event is cancelable or not. default: true
• All other new Event() options will also work
