Ok, here is the deal on the click using location option exactly as it was explained to me:(from a reliable source!)

 

lets say you have <a href="http://google.com"><span id="exciting text">Click Me to go to google!</span></a>

 

so you use the element selector and you get <id="exciting text">

 

now you use the click command and it doesnt seem to do anything!

 

this is because you're sending the click directly to the span instead of the <a>

 

if you use click using location, it will find the x,y coordinates of the center of that span, and click on the browser using the mouse.

 

I hope that clears it up for you.
