An Introduction To WebElement In Selenium

1-Drop down:- In selenium drop down operation on webelement is performed with the help of select interface. It can be performed using the following code:-

public void dropDown(WebDriver driver){

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("Drop down button xpath"));

Select dropDown = new Select(element);

dropDown.selectByVisisbleText("Xpath of Webelement need to select");

}

System.setProperty("webdriver.chromedriver.chrome.driver","E:seleniumchromedriver_win32chromedriver.exe");

Webdriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

driver.navigate().to("http://www.calculator.net");

driver.findElement(By.linkText("Interest Calculator")).click();

Select select = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='compound']")));

select.selectByVisisbleText("Xpath of Webelement need to select");

driver.close();

}

public void popup(WebDriver driver){

driver.findElement(By.xpath("popup xpath")).click();

String popup = driver.getWindowHandle();

}

Explanation of The Code:-

In the 1st line, the user clicks on the webelement through which popup is opened and in the second line, the control goes to popup with the help of getWindowHandler function. It is a predefined function used to handle popup in selenium.

action.moveToElement(element).build.perform();

driver.findElement(By.xpath("Xpath of Webelement need to click")).click();

}

Explanation of The Code:-

In 1st line object of type webelement is created which stored the xpath of hover element and in second-line action class interface has been created and given the control of driver to action class by passing driver as an argument and in the third line, hover is handled with the help of action class interface by using predefined functions of actions class and in the last line click on the webelement available on hover.
