WebKit doesn't provide a Click() event, just a Right Click event. I will see if 
I can do something and will inform you.

Hello Sir,

Firstly, thanks for launching such a great product. I am using it for my 
application, and it seem to be a solution to all my problems. Only issue that i 
faced is; if i want to click on any html tag (be it input, div, span), i 
couldn't find any method to do so? I was looking for something like 
InvokeMember available in default web browser for .Net applications. 

Please tell me, if there exist any function like that, in webkit browser.

Many thanks in advance.

If I understood what you are trying to do, it is not implemented in the latest 
webkit. At some elements such as Input and other HTML elements there is a 
method called click() but as I have sawn in the latest webkit's source it is 
not implemented. Maybe it will be in the future but for now something like that 
is not possible. If I find any "hackish" method I will inform you.

The feature that you want can also be done using JavaScript:

document.getElementById('id').click();

You can use that using <webkitbrowser>.StringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString

OK I will reply you with an example. Let's say that the button you want has an 
ID attribute "myButton". So, in order to click it you can use the first way 
(for .NET 4) or the 2nd way (for any .NET Framework)

1st way:
<webkitbrowser>.GetScriptManager.EvaluateScript("document.getElementById('myButt
on').click();");

2nd way:
<webkitbrowser>.StringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString("document.getElementById(
'myButton').click();");

You can check the Id of the element via the inspector.

Ok, but if I want to insert c# code on event:
SystemSounds.Beep.Play();

where I need to post it?

Do you mean that you want to listen to a JavaScript event and run C# code? If 
so, then this capability is not yet implemented in OpenWebKitSharp (yet), but 
you can pass an object to JS via GetScriptManager.SetProperty("myObject", new 
MyObject());, inside the MyObject class put a method:

void Beep()
{
    SystemSounds.Beep.Play();
}

And instead of raising an event in JS, use myObject.Beep(); instead of the 
event or add a handler for that event in JS and use the above JS code.

I have created a dynamic button in webkit browser. I need click even for that 
button.
How can I do it.

This is how I generate button:

mBrowser.DocumentText =
              "<html><head><script>" +
              "function test(message) { alert(message); }" +
              "</script></head><body><button " +
              "onclick=\"window.external.test('called from script code')\">" +
              "call client code from script code</button>" +
              "</body></html>";

Thanks in Advance.
