Answer 1

 point: { events: { click: function (event) { functionForClick(this.name) } } } ....... ....... function functionForClick(obj){ document.getElementById(obj).click(); } 

  <button id="Microsoft Internet Explorer" onclick="alert('Microsoft Internet Explorer was clicked')">Microsoft Internet Explorer </button> 

You can add function functionForClick(this.id); inside the events:{...} .This will call function and click the respective button
