I remember seeing a JavaScript library a long time ago that offered the ability to record where users clicked and moved their mouse on your website, in order to do usability testing. I can't seem to find it anymore.
Are there any libraries out there that do something like this?
What I'm looking for is something like http://clixpy.com/, where you can include some javascript on a page and get videos of what users do.
There's a big list here: http://www.usefulusability.com/24-usability-testing-tools/
I'm aware of Crazy Egg that allows to build heatmaps and track clicks:
CrazyEgg’s Confetti and Heatmap features are simple and affordable heat mapping tools that allow you to visually understand user behavior.

Crazy Egg is a commercial service.
We use Clicktale and it is quite OK. With it you can understand users a bit better. But, I strongly recommend doing usability tests or depth interviews rather. You can do it with your friends them pretending to be the real users if getting them users is tricky. I assure you, it is SOOOO much better than any javascript. And don't forget to record them while they click - it is priceless.
You might want to consider UserView from TechSmith. I don't have any experience with it, but from the promo material it seems like professional out-of-the box solution for many implementations and it could save you quite some dev work.
But I didin't anwser your question :D I also remember stumbling upon an opensource jscript lib ... don't remember the name though, but I've found this on Google: http://piwik.org/docs/javascript-tracking/
