Select all Elements on a page [closed]

Question

I am looking for a function in javascript which clicks on every element (links, buttons,...) on my page. All elements should be disabled by default. I am using this for my testing environment in Selenium to check whether all elements on my page are deactivated.

Answer 1

At first, get all elements on your page:

var elements = document.getElementsByTagName("*");

Now that you get them, make a mouse-event, make a loop and apply the event on every element:

var clickEvent  = document.createEvent ('MouseEvents');
clickEvent.initEvent ('click', true, true);
for (var i=0; i < elements.length; i++) 
{    
    elements[i].dispatchEvent (clickEvent);
}
