Automator question

[one1]

Is there a way I can make automator click my mouse?

I want to put my mac on a specific page and hover the mouse over a button and have automator click it every say.......25 seconds. I can't let this page I am working on time out and this is the only way I can do what I need to do.

Are you sure doing a mouse click will actually keep the page from timing out? From what I could find Automator can't simulate mouse clicks on its own. I tried finding a way with Applescript, but couldn't figure it out, though I believe there is a way. Alternatively, it may work to have the application just do something every so often. The below is an Applescript that will do a "cmd+." action, which isn't a valid shortcut, but will give an action. I don't know if it'll do what you need, but could be worth a try.

Just put the code into the "Script Editor" program and save. It'll repeat infinitely so you'll face to manually quit it.

repeat
	tell application "Firefox" to activate
	tell application "System Events"
		tell process "Firefox"
			keystroke "." using {command down}
		end tell
	end tell
	delay 25
end repeat

Thank you for the response. I can go as far as to open the safari, put it on the page, and set the mouse in the correct spot as normal, I just can't figure out how to make the mouse trigger to click the button that keep this session open. I have to find a way to click the mouse button and was hoping not to have to do this with some Go-Go Gadget physical machine punching the mouse. (LOL) I will eventually come to this however if nothing else as I must click this button.
