Integrate jquery.simulate.js for real native events

[jweden]

Below is an email regarding a feature request. To be a little more clear, the jquery simulate library doesn't replicate OS native events which is what I believe Selenium is doing. However, it is utilizing more standard DOM events which is different than what vanilla jquery uses (based upon reading I've done).

I really like this idea. Go ahead and create an issue on this so that we can at least track it and possibly get other opinions on this, but I really don't think it would be too difficult to add. The hardest part would be to dynamically add the script to the pages that are being tested, but that isn't really that difficult.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Travis.

Just saw your youtube video on this project…nice job! Have you thought about using jquery.simulate.js for the browser events: http://wingkaiwan.com/2012/09/23/triggering-mouse-events-with-jquery-simulate-when-testing-in-javascript/ -- think jquery uses this in their own unit tests to do real native events in the browser. I thought this would be a nice answer to one of web driver's claim to fame of being able to do native events.
