You're referring to a DOM method that was changed to match W3C spec in version 9. Use the event-simulate or event-node-simulate module to call whichever method is appropriate for the given browser. E.g.



YUI().use('event-node-simulate', function (Y) {

    Y.one("#foo").on('click', function () { Y.log("I've been clicked!"); });

setTimeout(function () { Y.one("#foo").simulate("click"); }, 2000);

});
