javascript UI testing framework with event simulation

Question

I am looking for a framework to simulate mouse drag and drop of various html tags via jquery then capture the screen and compare that with a saved image. I do this in order to test a webpage UI.

I've seen a great post: Javascript testing to simulate drag for JQuery UI sortable lists, which gave this link: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/blob/master/tests/jquery.simulate.js

Currently I am not sure how I can use jquery.simulate.js (but I'm playing with it to learn), so I am interested if there are any other frameworks that I can use (perhaps some that look more like JUnit/NUnit).

Preferably I'd like to do be able to code sth like this:

simulateDivDrag(Image expectedResult){
  simulate mouse drag  of event
  take screenshot
  cmp(expectedResult, screenshot)
}

I remember reading that Firefox has built an in house tool for such automated UI testing so it's definitely possible.

Thanks :)

If you are using jUnit, you probably want to use Selenium which can automated user actions in multiple browsers.

it's for a .NET website; I mentioned those unit tests because I am very familiar w them since I do backend work. Can Selenium be integrated with any website?

And there is nUnit and if you read the Selenium's site you would see it is available in a bunch of languages.
