Fire bug / Chrome Console to manually invoke a function

Question

I am having a page with many button's , I have to Click on each button to Activate a user which takes a lot of time . I was wondering if Is it possible to invoke a link through Firefox / Chrome console ?

For instance suppose there is a Class

<a class="Button" href="#" link="/info.php?code=379645838760724 id="uqyiqh_25">
<span class="ButtonText">Click Here to activate user Greg</span></a>

I want to fire the link part of the tag with the help of console ? Can I use the Console to select this ID and Call the Link ?

If a `GET` at that link will activate the user you could dump the page source to a file, perform a little regexp magic to extract the links, then feed them to a batch process using `wget` or `curl` — Stephen P, Jun 08 '12 at 21:22
Why is the url in a link attribute? And you're missing the terminating `"` — Cameron Martin, Jun 08 '12 at 21:29

var elements = document.getElementsByClassName('Button');
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {  
  var request = new XMLHttpRequest();  
  request.open('GET', elements[i].href, true);
  request.send();
}

I am getting an Error : TypeError: Object # has no method 'forEach' – Yahoo Jun 08 '12 at 21:34
`NodeList` objects don't have a forEach method? I've updated it. – Cameron Martin Jun 08 '12 at 21:37

Well no, you need to change link to href in your markup. And close the attribute. Afaik, link isn't a valid attribute for an anchor tag. – Cameron Martin Jun 08 '12 at 21:50
