IE Click Page Location

[Affe]

Is there a way to click a given area on a web page?

I know many functions (_IEAction, _IEImgClick, etc.) that could theoretically do this, however, I have a page that has multiple div's nested.

I can identify the area (i.e. the "top" and "left") of where I would like to click through finding the background image of a div on a lower z-index. However, clicking that specific div will not do anything: I have to simulate a click on an "unknown" div that is layered above it on the z-index. These divisions do not have id's or names, just some styling in the outerhtml.

Is there a way to click on that "area"?

Below is an example of how the html of the divisions look for an "instance" I would like to be able to click:

<DIV style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(http://url_removed/resource/webfrontend/townlayer/building_harbour.png); Z-INDEX: 40016; POSITION: absolute; WIDTH: 128px; BACKGROUND-POSITION: 0% 0%; HEIGHT: 128px; TOP: 1232px; LEFT: 2176px" Step="5" Frame="1"></DIV>
<DIV style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(http://url_removed/resource/webfrontend/townlayer/animations/anim_harbour_01/animseq_harbour_01.png); Z-INDEX: 40016; POSITION: absolute; WIDTH: 128px; BACKGROUND-POSITION: 0px 50%; HEIGHT: 128px; TOP: 1232px; LEFT: 2176px" Step="4" Frame="0"></DIV>
<DIV style="Z-INDEX: 990000; POSITION: absolute; WIDTH: 128px; HEIGHT: 80px; TOP: 1280px; LEFT: 2176px" id=69649></DIV>
<DIV style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(http://url_removed/resource/webfrontend/ui/building_level_display_bgr.png); Z-INDEX: 500000; POSITION: absolute; WIDTH: 24px; HEIGHT: 24px; TOP: 1322px; LEFT: 2229px" id=69649>
<DIV style="POSITION: absolute; TEXT-ALIGN: center; WIDTH: 24px; HEIGHT: 24px; COLOR: #ffbd78; VERTICAL-ALIGN: middle; TOP: 1px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; LEFT: -1px">7</DIV></DIV>

_IEPropertyGet has an example of getting coordinates and then using MouseMove. Use it as a guide and then use MouseClick instead.
