What is the difference between a simulated mouse click and an actual mouse click?

There are two types of mouse clicks: one through HTML DOM (simulated) and one where you actually move the mouse pointer. The outcome in the second case, for some sites with AJAX, is that multiple mouse events get triggered in/out of element, hover over element, and the actual click. The first approach only generates a mouse click. Tip: when using actual clicks, make sure to validate your scripts in Keynote Service Center prior to provisioning.
