Using pure javascript, I wanted to click a button and trigger the events of it, but the important thing is that I do not want to call the function directly. So far I have tried this:

var send = document.getElementsByName("send");
window.addEventListener("keyup", function( e ){
    if(e.which == 13 || e.keyCode == 13){
        send.dispatchEvent(new Event('click'));
    }
});

I have searched in several articles, but I need the equivalent of jQuery element.click(); , but the articles only teach to call the function directly interconnected to the element.

<button name="send" onclick="alert('foo')">Enviar</button>

Using pure javascript, as I clicked this button without being directly or calling the function that is in onclick

javascript

Your code seems to me to be correct, it only has one thing wrong getElementsByName returns a list of items (equivalent to array ), the right thing would be:

var send = document.getElementsByName("send");
window.addEventListener("keyup", function( e ){
    if(e.which == 13 || e.keyCode == 13){
        send[0].dispatchEvent(new Event('click'));//send[0] pega o primeiro button que achar
    }
});
