I'm trying to figure out the best way to automate interaction with a javascript heavy website, in a headless manner.

Would love to get some other peoples opinions on this...

Things on my list already:

Ruby / Selenium 
Node.js / Zombie.js

one of the js events I need to be able to trigger is an onfocus event, anyone have experience with a web driver that can do that?

I've used capybara-webkit, although not extensively, and not since August. At that time it was buggy, but still the best tool of its kind I'd tried.

If you're interested in using Ruby, using Capybara with Thoughtbot's capybara-webkit looks to be a good option. Haven't gotten 'round to using it myself, but it's been on my radar for some time.

Good luck!

We use PhantomJS to automate our QUnit tests in a headless manner.
PhantomJS runs a headless version of WebKit.
