htmlEle.fireEvent("onclick", document.createEventObject()) doesn't work on IE 11

Hi I have a click event associated with a image button. I am trying to fire the click event by htmlEle.fireEvent("onclick", document.createEventObject()) but i get error object doesn't support property or method 'createEventObject' on IE 11. The click event works perfectly fine for IE 9. Is there a substitute for createEventObject that i can use for IE 11? Thanks

I think createEventObject is not supported in IE 10+ (source).

Try using something like this:

var evt = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents");
evt.initEvent("change", false, true);
myObject.target.dispatchEvent(evt);

as explained here.
