Great question STrenton.

Usually, eValid doesn't worry about where the mouse actually is because it operates "below the screen" at the DOM level.

For example, the command: ButtonClick wid idx "id" "name" {"frame-path"} simulates that the mouse is over the screen at which the specified "idx" [with ID=id" and NAME="name", if present} and then issues a click event to that DOM element.

Where the mouse actually is doesn't make a difference, but the page behaves as if the mouse had been moved there.
