Javascript function to 'click', can it be done?

Hi, is there a javascript function which tells the mouse pointer to
"click" whereever it is on the screen? Best regards-sunnysails

Not really. You might be able to find the mouse position by tracking
mousemove events, and the find the element at that point and try
to call a "click" method on the element, if it has one.

Why would you want it? Hopefully not to bypass popup filters :)

Interesting exploit, but no. I am working with a tricky graphic-app
that is tracking the mouse-cursor, and needed it to do something. I
got it to work now. :)

Sorry I didn't realize the ramifications of the quesiton I was asking.
:() Actually, this is a machine app which uses some HTML. I got it to
work that way I wanted it to. :) -sunnysails
