Click Element

This action performs a mouse click on an element in the page, based on the control identifier and/or on the CSS selector of that element. The click action is executed using Javascript, so it is only suitable for elements that know how to handle the Click event (such as buttons).

Note: for elements that can't handle click events, the standard Click Control action can be used.
