How do you get one Button to raise the Clicking of another Button?

Question

Hello,
I have a hide/show region that is controlled by a button (ButtonA). This button and region is pretty far down in the page.
So the client has requested that I created a second button (ButtonB) and place it at the very top of the page, and wants for this button (ButtonB) when clicked to 'click' the hide/show button below (ButtonA).
Can you please advise how to do this, ex:
<INPUT type="button" value="Show All Regions" name="ButtonB" onClick="what do I place here to raise the 'click' of button A ">.
Any advice would be appreciated as I must demo this feature to the client tomorrow morning.
Many thanks,
Laura

Depends what type of button it is.
If it's a button in a region position, use the optional redirect section
Set the Target to "URL" and enter URL TArget as something like:
javascript:function_to_call();Alternatively if its a region item button, it's a bit more tricky.
What I did was create a new button template (copied from the standard "Button" template, called "Button - link to attribute") and replaced the
<a href="#LINK#">bits with
<a href="#BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#">you can then add the code (as above) to the attribute property of the button.
