Capybara + Selenium / Webkit : Selecting *within* a div (rails / rspec)

Good evening,

I'm trying to set up a request spec with RSpec / Capybara for a page that contains a Flot graph. I have the page set up such that the user has to click on a marked element within the graph (tick/data point) to continue. Obviously the graph is generated with Javascript (flot).

Is there a way to get capybara/selenium to click on a specific x/y position with the chart div? I can measure it out in the development environment such that it should hit the datapoint in the test.

I have found ways to generate this click event with javascript:

$(document.elementFromPoint(x, y)).click();

But I don't think there is a way to get this to work in RSpec. I'm looking for something more like:

find(".overlay").click(top:10px; left:50px;) # click offset from the top and left of graph div
response.body.should have_selector(# stuff that should show up on the page)

Not sure if it makes any difference, but I prefer Selenium over webkit at the moment so that I can see what it is doing... will switch to webkit once tests are running.

Capybara should allow you to execute Javascript from within an example when the driver supports it, e.g.:

page.execute_script('$(document.elementFromPoint(10, 50)).click();')
