                                boolean ignoreVisibility)
                         throws IOException

INTERNAL API - SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Simulates clicking on this element, returning the page in the window that has the focus after the element has been clicked. Note that the returned page may or may not be the same as the original page, depending on the type of element being clicked, the presence of JavaScript action listeners, etc.

Overrides:

click in class DomElement

Type Parameters:

P - the page type

Parameters:

event - the click event used

shiftKey - true if SHIFT is pressed during the click

ctrlKey - true if CTRL is pressed during the click

altKey - true if ALT is pressed during the click

ignoreVisibility - whether to ignore visibility or not

Returns:

the page contained in the current window as returned by WebClient.getCurrentWindow()

Throws:

IOException - if an IO error occurs

doClickStateUpdate

protected void doClickStateUpdate(boolean shiftKey,
                                  boolean ctrlKey,
                                  String hrefSuffix)
                           throws IOException

Same as doClickStateUpdate(boolean, boolean), except that it accepts an href suffix, needed when a click is performed on an image map to pass information on the click position.

Parameters:

shiftKey - true if SHIFT is pressed

ctrlKey - true if CTRL is pressed

hrefSuffix - the suffix to add to the anchor's href attribute (for instance coordinates from an image map)

Throws:

IOException - if an IO error occurs

getTargetUrl

public static URL getTargetUrl(String href,
                               HtmlPage page)
                        throws MalformedURLException

Parameters:

href - the href

page - the HtmlPage

Returns:

the calculated target url.

Throws:

MalformedURLException - if an IO error occurs

doClickStateUpdate

                              throws IOException

This method implements the control state update part of the click action.

The default implementation only calls doClickStateUpdate on parent's DomElement (if any). Subclasses requiring different behavior (like HtmlSubmitInput) will override this method.

Overrides:

Parameters:

shiftKey - true if SHIFT is pressed

ctrlKey - true if CTRL is pressed

Returns:

true if doClickFireEvent method has to be called later on (to signal, that the value was changed)
