Can't click a button using javascript without mouse pointer hovering the element

[ari fazola]

So i'm developing an extension to do an automate task on a website. But i'm having a trouble because my script can't click a single button on that web. I do believe for security reason or something, i can't click the buttons without actual mouse pointer hovering the button and trigger left click manually. Is there any way to simulate that?

Here is my first script 

//function goToActivityTab() {

 //  var activityTab = document.getElementsByClassName("btn-standard")[0];

//}

//goToActivityTab();

that simply just click an element. 

And here is my second script that i get from a forum

function simulate(element, eventName)

{

    var options = extend(defaultOptions, arguments[2] || {});

    var oEvent, eventType = null;

    for (var name in eventMatchers)

    {

        if (eventMatchers[name].test(eventName)) { eventType = name; break; }

    }

    if (!eventType)

        throw new SyntaxError('Only HTMLEvents and MouseEvents interfaces are supported');

    if (document.createEvent)

    {

        oEvent = document.createEvent(eventType);

        if (eventType == 'HTMLEvents')

        {

            oEvent.initEvent(eventName, options.bubbles, options.cancelable);

        }

        else

        {

            oEvent.initMouseEvent(eventName, options.bubbles, options.cancelable, document.defaultView,

            options.button, options.pointerX, options.pointerY, options.pointerX, options.pointerY,

            options.ctrlKey, options.altKey, options.shiftKey, options.metaKey, options.button, element);

        }

        element.dispatchEvent(oEvent);

    }

    else

    {

        options.clientX = options.pointerX;

        options.clientY = options.pointerY;

        var evt = document.createEventObject();

        oEvent = extend(evt, options);

        element.fireEvent('on' + eventName, oEvent);

    }

    return element;

}

function extend(destination, source) {

    for (var property in source)

      destination[property] = source[property];

    return destination;

}

var eventMatchers = {

    'HTMLEvents': /^(?:load|unload|abort|error|select|change|submit|reset|focus|blur|resize|scroll)$/,

    'MouseEvents': /^(?:click|dblclick|mouse(?:down|up|over|move|out))$/

}

var defaultOptions = {

    pointerX: 0,

    pointerY: 0,

    button: 0,

    ctrlKey: false,

    altKey: false,

    shiftKey: false,

    metaKey: false,

    bubbles: true,

    cancelable: true

}

simulate(document.getElementsByClassName("btn-standart")[0], "click");

That second script tries to move the mouse on a specific X and Y, and then click it. But still not working.

FYI, i use those two scripts on different site, and it can click button.

Not true. Extensions can trigger a click on any element just as you can do it with Javascript on any page.

document.querySelector('.btn-standard').click() ;

It's possible that the website checks the isTrusted flag on the mouse event before taking action, explicitly to prevent scripting of their website
