Selenium and Mouse Events
Posted by Charlie Tue, 15 Aug 2006 07:06:00 GMT
For MapBuzz browser testing, we need to control the x and y locations of the mouse cursor. Selenium didn't support this functionality, so I coded it up one evening and submitted a patch.
Nelson Sproul took the patch, refactored it a bit, and included it in the recent 0.7.1 Selenium release. Note that there is a major limitation when using it with Internet Explorer. IE does not bubble script generated events. Thus, if you send a mouseclick event to an element, it will receive it, but will not bubble it up to its parent in the DOM tree.
