Thanks for the reply. This is a very nifty function I'll have to play around with and see if I can get it to work. In my case there seems to be a of elements that could be the one needing to be clicked. I was looking around at the initMouseEvent parameters and it seems you can offer a clientX, clientY, screenX, screenY to be clicked. Do you know if I can have the mouse click somewhere on the screen without passing an element?
