Is there a way of clicking an specific point/element in a canvas (with javascript, jquery or selenium)
How about trying
canvas.on('click', function(e) { // calculate x y coordinates on canvas var x = e.pageX - $(this).offset().left, y = e.pageY - $(this).offset().top; // implement collision detection via the coordinates the element you want to click (assuming you know where it is) if (y > <elementY> && y < <elementY> + <elementHeight> && x > <elementX> && x < <elementX> + <elementWidth>) { alert('found it'); }});
I have no time testing that snippet. If you know the x and y coordinates of your elements within your canvas, that code might just do the trick.
What I tried to do with that snippet is to simulate a bounding box via elmentY
and elementY + elementHeight
as well as elementX
and elementX + elementWidth
. If you know all those values, you can simply check whether the x
and y
values of your click event fall in that said box.
Edit
If you want to trigger a click event at a certain position, define the clickEvent beforehand and set the pageX and pageY attributes.
var e = new jQuery.Event("click");e.pageX = 10;e.pageY = 10;$(<canvas>).trigger(e);
You might have to include the offset of your canvas in the calculations as well.
