Thank you for posting this Eli.
This looks like it could be quite useful for what I have been trying
to accomplish, with automated testing. The article talks about the
issues with synthetic events that I have been struggling with and
provides solutions to overcome them.
This is an example of drag and drop being tested.

I will have to keep looking into this, but I'm hoping for the best.

While looking for something completely different, I encountered the
doh.robot: Automating Web UI Unit Tests with Real User Events.

From the site:
"...the Dojo Object Harness (DOH) unit test framework, called
doh.robot, scheduled to appear in Dojo 1.2. This enhancement adds an
API to DOH that enables testers to automate their UI tests using
real, cross-platform, system-level input events."
"However, we took a different approach to dispatching events:
instead of using synthetic events, we used the cross-browser and
cross-platform Java applet technology to place real events on the
native event queue, as if a real person performed the action."
Interesting!
