Webdriver: how to use mouseDown/mouseUp/mouseMove on an element

[Ahmed EL AMINE]

i'm looking for the right way to do some mouse actions on web
elements. I just discovered this previous post:
http://groups.google.com/group/selenium-users/browse_thread/thread/20bd00e77c107fe3
but no response was posted on it.

it would be very nice if some one shows the right method :)

On way would be to do something like this (assuming your WebDriver object is
called driver):

Mouse mouse = ((HasInputDevices) driver).getMouse();
WebElement myElement = driver.findElement(By.id("foo"));

mouse.mouseDown((Coordinates) myElement.getLocation());
mouse.mouseUp((Coordinates) myElement.getLocation());

I'm assuming it will let you cast a point object into a coordinates object,
I haven't tried the above. I'm guessing that the mouse interaction isn't
fully fleshed out yet, a lot of the context xlixk stuff is not available on
the Actions object and there are some bits missing from the Mouse object as
well e.g. right mouse down and right mouse up. Then again you don't
normally need to hold down your right mouse button when using a website...

Have you tried http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/AdvancedUserInteractions ?

[Mark Collin]

The advanced user interaction API used the mouse and keyboard objects and is really the correct way to deal with it.  I’ve got carried away and gone down too deep again ;P)

This one worked for me for 'on mouse up'.

     Locatable hoverItem = (Locatable) findElement(by);

    Mouse mouse = ((HasInputDevices) driver).getMouse();

    mouse.mouseMove(hoverItem.getCoordinates());
