PhantomJS Click event
// Source : http://stackoverflow.com/a/17789929
// Patch since PhantomJS does not implement click() on HTMLElement. In some
// cases we need to execute the native click on an element. However, jQuery's
// $.fn.click() does not dispatch to the native function on <a> elements, so we
// can't use it in our implementations: $el[0].click() to correctly dispatch.
if (!HTMLElement.prototype.click) {
HTMLElement.prototype.click = function() {
var ev = document.createEvent('MouseEvent');
ev.initMouseEvent(
'click',
/*bubble*/true, /*cancelable*/true,
window, null,
0, 0, 0, 0, /*coordinates*/
false, false, false, false, /*modifier keys*/
0/*button=left*/, null
);
this.dispatchEvent(ev);
};
