    String strJavaScript = "var element = arguments[0];"
            + "var mouseEventObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');"
            + "mouseEventObj.initEvent( 'mouseover', true, true );"
            + "element.dispatchEvent(mouseEventObj);";
     JavascriptExecutor js =  (JavascriptExecutor) _driver;

You can use actions class to perform mouse related activities. — Vinay

String javaScript = "var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');" + "evObj.initMouseEvent(\"mouseover\",true, false, window, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, false, false, false, false, 0, null);" + "arguments[0].dispatchEvent(evObj);"; ((JavascriptExecutor) Driver.driver).executeScript(javaScript, element); This should work. Give it a try. — Vinay

Can you give use the web-page you're trying to work on so that we can better understand what "not working" means? — Seanny123

public void click(WebElement a,WebElement b)
{
    try 
     {
         String mouseOverScript = "if(document.createEvent){var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');evObj.initEvent('mouseover',true, false); arguments[0].dispatchEvent(evObj);} else if(document.createEventObject) { arguments[0].fireEvent('onmouseover');}";
         ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(mouseOverScript,a);
         Thread.sleep(1000);
         ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(mouseOverScript,b);
         Thread.sleep(1000);
         ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();",b);


    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO: handle exception
    }
}
