Auto-click Script Within A Browser

A user claimed to have gotten such script running without having to leave the computer i.e. the auto-clicking action happens hidden in the browser: http://forum.dashnet.org/discuss

Solution 1:

It is a very simple task to dispatch and event with javascript.

For a modern method see MouseEvent

var clickMe = document.getElementById('clickMe');

clickMe.addEventListener('click', function() {
  console.log('I was clicked');
}, true);

setTimeout(function() {
  var event = newMouseEvent('click'),
    canceled = !clickMe.dispatchEvent(event);

  if (canceled) {
    console.log('Click event was canceled');
  }
}, 5000);

<divid="clickMe">Click Me</div>

Output after 5 seconds

I was clicked 

Solution 2:

var clickMe = document.getElementById('clickMe');

clickMe.addEventListener('click', function() {
  console.log('I was clicked');
}, true);

setTimeout(function() {
  var event = newMouseEvent('click'),
    canceled = !clickMe.dispatchEvent(event);

  if (canceled) {
    console.log('Click event was canceled');
  }
}, 5000);

<divid="clickMe">Click Me</div>
