As a side note, WebDriver tries very hard to avoid the user having to
do things like fire_event() by instead doing the clicking and key
presses as native, OS-level events whenever possible. I've seen
existing Watir scripts that use fire_event heavily break when ported
because WebDriver actual does a proper click, and the fire_event calls
in the code makes the event fire twice.
