JavaScript Button.click() does not work in Firefox, works fine in Internet Explorer

Question

I have an ASP.NET button on my page. When I click the button using JavaScript ( buttonId.click() ), Firefox seems to fire all onclick event handlers on the page. I would like to click only one button.

This scenario is working fine in Internet Explorer.

Please let me know of any workarounds for this.

Thanks

The simple workaround is:

1. Make a div , height 100% of the page, width 100% of the page.
2. This div is hidden.
3. Make a function showDiv() that shows your div .
4. On every action in your page you'll use a JavaScript function.
5. The last row of all JavaScript function is showDiv() .

Then after every click that calls a JavaScript function other clicks on this page are disabled.

Ps. Obviously the div need remains align to viewport ( top=0;left=0 ).
