Select `li` element in `listbox` (JavaScript)

Question

I want to present https://translate.yandex.com/m/translate page to user with preselected source and destination language. I can access to interesting element like this

var srcLangContent = document.getElementById("srcLanguagesContent")
var liToSelect = srcLangContent.children[10]

What to do next I don't know. I called click() , but it's not working. Can you give some advice?

PS I can't use jQuery

Here is solution.

var mouse_down_evt = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
mouse_down_evt.initMouseEvent("mousedown", true, true, window, 0, 0, 0, 80, 20, false, false, false, false, 0, null);

var mouse_up_evt = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
mouse_up_evt.initMouseEvent("mouseup", true, true, window, 0, 0, 0, 80, 20, false, false, false, false, 0, null);

liToSelect.dispatchEvent(mouse_down_evt)
liToSelect.dispatchEvent(mouse_up_evt)

Thank you @PhilCooper for advice.
