There is a onmousedown event on a webpage. I want to be able to have this event called from my app and have the WebBrowser object move to that page. How can I achieve this?

A:
Long story short, you can't do this. This is because the javascript is a client side technology and to accomplish what javascript does on your client you're going to have to pretend to be a client: you'll need to rebuild the entire document object model and execute the javascript that way.
You can reference this ticket where I tried solving a similar issue (calling javascript from within a PHP script): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3221466/can-a-php-proxy-script-call-javascript-functions-like-click
Maybe if you explain the problem domain a little more, you'll discover that you don't even need the javascript all-together! What are you trying to accomplish and why is the javascript required? Good luck!

I've figured out an alternate solution but this one would be much easier. I am the client, I have a Webbrowser object in a windows form, so shouldn't I be able to fake a mouse click? I also found this as a solution http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=321029 but it seems very very sloppy.

You can't fake a button click but you can post/get data to wherever the button would send data to if you clicked it.

what about this http://www.megasolutions.net/cSharp/Invoking-Javascript-Functions-from-an-Instance-of-Internet-Explorer-69881.aspx#[email protected] I haven't had time to test it out but it looks promising

The WebBrowser.Document property gives you an HtmlDocument object, which has an InvokeScript method. I have used this before to execute JavaScript from a WebBrowser control. Frankly, it's an atrociously messy way to get something done, but it has worked for me. Could that be of use to you, maybe?

Ok, how would I point it to a specific mousedown event, there are multiple ones per page.

gnucom's right.
Perhaps not the solution you are looking for: http://watir.com/examples/
It's Ruby based and but you could have your app interact with that perhaps...
