Question

I’m creating tests (in Firefox) for a web app.

Depending on what field the cursor is over, a different help screen will appear. But when creating tests for those help screens, i cant get Selenium to focus on the particular field i want.
I’ve tried using fireEvent, click, select, and type in order to get the focus to stay on the field i require in order to load that particular help screen but i’ve had no luck.

Does anyone have ideas on how this can be solved. Or how i can work around it?

You can use selenium2 AdvancedUserInteractions API:

 Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
 builder.moveToElement(someElement).build().perform();
