I'm trying to simulate mouse movement across a random curve line or parabola so it looks like the mouse actually moved across the page. With Selenium, I only know how to click on an element but that doesn't simulate a real user on some websites. I want the mouse to move along a random line that I calculate, then click the element.

The docs say you can use move_by_offset(xoffset, yoffset) function.
