In Selenium Webdriver, we can just use element.click() method to click on any element. But sometimes, when there are any issues performing click on any element, we can use JavaScriptExecutor.
Below is the example to perform click using JavaScriptExecutor.
package com.pack.click;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
import org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException;
import org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class JSClickExample {
WebDriver driver;
@Test
public void testClickJS() throws Exception {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.navigate().to("http://www.amazon.com/");
WebElement searchTextBox=driver.findElement(By.id("twotabsearchtextbox"));
searchTextBox.sendKeys("Mobiles");
WebElement goButton = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[value=Go]"));
safeJavaScriptClick(goButton);
}
public void safeJavaScriptClick(WebElement element) throws Exception {
try {
if (element.isEnabled() && element.isDisplayed()) {
System.out.println("Clicking on element with using java script click");
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
} else {
System.out.println("Unable to click on element");
}
} catch (StaleElementReferenceException e) {
System.out.println("Element is not attached to the page document "+ e.getStackTrace());
} catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
System.out.println("Element was not found in DOM "+ e.getStackTrace());
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Unable to click on element "+ e.getStackTrace());
}
}
}
