title: Automatically click a link and navigate to another page
body: <p>I need to test a page tracker behavior. The tracker's reporting triggers when links are clicked, however generating a click event on anchor elements doesn't instruct the browser to navigate to the page in the link. I tried Selenium IDE - to no effect.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to accomplish this? Perhaps some browser setting? If it is specific to Firefox or Google Chrome or Opera - it doesn't matter, I could use any of those for testing.</p>
  
  <p>Here's a similar question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/902713/how-do-i-automatically-click-a-link-with-javascript">How do I programmatically click a link with javascript?</a> but it doesn't help in my case, as as I just described, no navigation happens in this case.</p>
