Sounds like you may be interested in jquery.simulate:
http://dev.jquery.com/view/tags/ui/latest/tests/simulate/jquery.simulate.js
It will create and fire/dispatch mouse and keyboard events. Here's an
example of use:
$("#myEl").simulate("mousedown", { clientX: 50, clientY: 100 });
Browser support for elements and events is quite mixed.
