selenium-webdriver Actions (Emulating complex user gestures)
Introduction
The
Actions class gives us a way of emulating precisely how a user would interact with a web page/elements. Using an instance of this class you can describe a series of actions, such as clicking, double-clicking, dragging, pressing keys, etc. Once these actions are described, in order to carry the actions out, you must call must build the actions (.Build()) and then instruct them to be performed (.Perform()). So we must describe, build, perform. The examples below will expand upon this.
