| options.clickCount  | number    | `1`     | The number of times the action is performed.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| options.delay       | number    | `0`     | Milliseconds to wait between `mousedown` and `mouseup`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| options.force       | boolean   | `false` | Setting this to `true` will bypass the actionability checks (`visible`, `stable`, `enabled`). Avoid using `force: true` in `click` actions, as it may mask underlying test design or app issues. It bypasses normal user interaction checks, and elements may not be clickable due to [cookie banner interference](/docs/k6/latest/using-k6-browser/recommended-practices/prevent-cookie-banners-blocking/). |
| options.modifiers   | string\[] | `null`  | `Alt`, `Control`, `Meta` or `Shift` modifiers keys pressed during the action. If not specified, currently pressed modifiers are used.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| options.noWaitAfter | boolean   | `false` | If set to `true` and a navigation occurs from performing this action, it will not wait for it to complete.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| options.position    | object    | `null`  | A point to use relative to the top left corner of the element. If not supplied, a visible point of the element is used.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| options.position.x  | number    | `0`     | The x coordinate.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| options.position.y  | number    | `0`     | The y coordinate.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| options.timeout     | number    | `30000` | Maximum time in milliseconds. Pass `0` to disable the timeout. Default is overridden by the `setDefaultTimeout` option on [BrowserContext](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-browser/browsercontext/) or [Page](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-browser/page/).                                                                                                                                            |
| options.trial       | boolean   | `false` | Setting this to `true` will perform the actionability checks without performing the action.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

Expand table

| Type            | Description                                                |
|-----------------|------------------------------------------------------------|

### Examples

JavaScript ![Copy code to clipboard](/media/images/icons/icon-copy-small-2.svg) Copy

```javascript
import { browser } from 'k6/browser';

export const options = {
  scenarios: {
    browser: {
      executor: 'shared-iterations',
      options: {
        browser: {
          type: 'chromium',
        },
      },
    },
  },
};

export default async function () {
  const page = await browser.newPage();

  await page.goto('https://test.k6.io/browser.php');
  const button = page.locator('#counter-button');
  await button.click();
}
```

When a click action results in a page navigation, remember to work with `Promise.all()` and `page.waitForNavigation()` to properly handle the asynchronous operation.
