在元素上触发原生 click() 而不是 Selenium click()

Question

I am writing a test case and accessing a Selenium WebElement as follows -

 WebElement printButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[text()='Print']"));

Now I want to perform a click on the above element but I don't want to use selenium's click(). I want to use a lower level Javascript or JQuery's click().

For this I converted the WebElement into a String that contains the element in its HTML form -

String s = printButton.getAttribute("outerHTML");

The value stored in this String is "<span>Print<span>" .

Now I am stuck. I am aware that there is a Selenium function driver.executeScript(); but Im not sure how to do it.

Please help!

Simple as that:)

 WebElement printButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[text()='Print']"));
 driver.executeScript("arguments[0].click()", printButton);
