Is it possible to use given coordinates in order to simulate a click in JavaScript within a webpage?
You can dispatch a click event, though this is not the same as a real click. For instance, it can't be used to trick a cross-domain iframe document into thinking it was clicked.
All modern browsers support document.elementFromPoint
and HTMLElement.prototype.click()
, since at least IE 6, Firefox 5, any version of Chrome and probably any version of Safari you're likely to care about. It will even follow links and submit forms:
document.elementFromPoint(x, y).click();
