Don't think about clicking a coordinate or typing something; think about
the actions on the page. e.g. to fill in a field on a form you'll want
something like:
ie.document.forms[formname][fieldname].value = 'whatever'
to click a button call its click method e.g.
submit = ie.document.forms[0]['submit']
submit.focus()
submit.click()
Check out the documentation at msdn.microsoft.com for the application,
document, form etc. objects. Generally speaking anything you could have
done through javascript you should be able to do through automation, plus a
few of other things that javascript might have blocked for security
reasons.
