使用Firefox SDK在非活动标签中的div上调用click（）事件

Question

I am trying to write a Firefox Addon using the Firefox SDK. I want to call click() on a div in an inactive tab when a user clicks on a button in my Addon panel. I already have the tab variable but now I'm just not sure if it's possible to simulate a click on this tab which is not the active tab.

For example, when the tab is active, I go into the console and type:

$("#div_id").click()

How can I call such a function when that tab isn't currently active?

My code in my main.js function:

var data = require("sdk/self").data;
var tabs = require("sdk/tabs");
var self = require("sdk/self");

var control_tab = require("sdk/panel").Panel({
  width: 212,
  height: 200,
  contentURL: data.url("control-tab.html"),
  contentScriptFile: data.url("get-buttons.js")
});


require("sdk/widget").Widget({
  label: "Control Tab",
  id: "control-tab",
  contentURL: "http://www.mozilla.org/favicon.ico",
  panel: control_tab
});

control_tab.port.on("bind_now", function onBind() {
  var bound_Tab = tabs.activeTab;
});

control_tab.port.on("next", function onNext() {
//enter click() event here on bound_Tab
});

Assume you have

<input type=hidden id=someID value=true name=someName/>

Then:

$("#b1").bind("click", function(){

$("#someId").attr("value", "false");

});

Then:

Call document.getElementById() and get this element .And call its functions
