You can check it in two ways: 1) first way is to use actions builder
WebElement mnuElement;
WebElement submnuElement;
mnEle = driver.findElement(By.Id("mnEle")).Click();
sbEle = driver.findElement(By.Id("sbEle")).Click();
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
// Move cursor to the Main Menu Element
builder.MoveToElement(mnEle).Perform();
// Giving 5 Secs for submenu to be displayed
Thread.sleep(5000L);
// Clicking on the Hidden SubMenu
driver.findElement(By.Id("sbEle")).Click();
See here
2) another approach is to click directly needed element using jscript without simulating mouse hover event:
String cssLocatorOfTheElement=....//locator of the element to click on
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
stringBuilder.append("var x = $(\'"+cssLocatorOfTheElement+"\');");
stringBuilder.append("x.click();");
js.executeScript(stringBuilder.toString());
hope this works for you)

With selenium-java-2.35: Actions builder = new Actions(driver); builder.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.id("user-options"))).click(); builder.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.id("log_out"))).click(driver.findElement(By.id("log_out"))); builder.perform(); If the simple .click() does not work, pass the Element to it, even if the cursor was moved there already.
Simulate mouseOver event and then select element you can like that:
var elementToShowMenu = Driver.FindElement(Byl.Id("some id"));
new Actions(Driver).MoveToElement(elementToShowMenu).Release(elementToShowMenu).Build().Perform();
var menuElement = Driver.FindElement(Byl.Id("your menu id"));

Here is how I click a invisible anchor link on a tag: a link that is generated dynamically by Javascript:
public static void mouseClickByLocator( String cssLocator ) {
String locator = cssLocator;
WebElement el = driver.findElement( By.cssSelector( locator ) );
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
builder.moveToElement( el ).click( el );
builder.perform();
}

WebElement mnuElement;
WebElement submnuElement;
mnuElement = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("insert selector here"));
submnuElement = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("insert selector here"));
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
// Move cursor to the Main Menu Element
builder.moveToElement(mnuElement).perform();
// Pause 2 Seconds for submenu to be displayed
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(2); //Pause 2 seconds
// Clicking on the Hidden submnuElement
submnuElement.click();
