A very good W3school tutorial can be found here.

Javascript – Move mouse in screen and emulater a "Click" with PURE JS

i trying make a code pure JS to move mouse in screen and simulate a click from user.

This not work for me: getElementBy....click(), forms[x].submit(), etc.

i need a function with pure js and that need: Move Mouse to x,y position in my screen. After that, using mouseEvents, "click" as a user clicking mouse.

I tried some simulate with key press, so KeyNumbers, "enter" with key13, not work to me also.

Anyone knows a way to do that, without any Lib ? (i found some libs doing that, but nothing with pure JS) i am a backend enginner, so its hard to me "deep dive" in pure JS mode.

If anyone can help me , I will be very grateful.

if anyone can made this function to me

    For security reasons you cannot simulate user actions in the browser. But using some software on OS side is possible

    To simulate a click event take a look at MouseEvent

    function simulateClick() {
  // Get the element to send a click event
  const cb = document.getElementById("checkbox");

  // Create a synthetic click MouseEvent
  let evt = new MouseEvent("click", {
    bubbles: true,
    cancelable: true,
    view: window,
  });

  // Send the event to the checkbox element
  cb.dispatchEvent(evt);
}
document.getElementById("button").addEventListener("click", simulateClick);

    However there is no MouseEvent to move the mouse programmatically
