simulate mouse events broken for IE 9

[pstadt]

I am using jquery.simulate.js for several simulated drags on my application.

Looks like IE 9 in IE 9 mode supports document.createEvent now, but the created events do not work correctly. It still supports document.createEventObject so I forced IE to use it, but I do not think it is a good solution (this is why I did not fork):

                } else if (el.fireEvent) {
                        el.fireEvent('on' + type, evt);

A better solutuion, like playing with e.button values for ie9 did not help, maybe there are additional required evt attributes for IE.

Created a fiddle for this: ​http://jsfiddle.net/BYJTp/

Javscript is the full actual jquery.simulate.js, other stuff is embedded in html.

I tried your patch in Document Mode: IE9 Standards Mode and got an error "No such interface supported"

The problem seems to be that pageX and pageY values are coming through as 0. It seems these don't need to specified, browsers calculate them based on the specified clientX and clientY values. The problem is, even if I modify simulate to pass pageX and pageY values explicitly, they still come through as 0 in IE9. And these values (not clientX and clientY) are the ones the mouse plugin depends on.

Anyone have an idea how to deal with this bug? Having exactly this problem as described with "pageX/Y"

Me too, pageX and pageY coming through as 0 !

Simulate: Define getters for pageX and pageY in mouse events if they come through as 0. Fixes #7324 - simulate mouse events broken for IE 9.
