How to click a element by Selenium

There are several ways to click a element by selenium base on different situations.

1.  normal way, everyone know it.

element.click();

    2. in some versions of IE, click() doesn’t work,

we can use this:  element.sendKeys(Keys.RETURN).

 3 . if the page is too long and the element is not on the screen, we need to move to the element first.

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

actions.moveToElement(Element);

element.click();

 4. use javascript, suppose you found a element named elementA

JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;

executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", elementA );

 5. if you try every solution upon, but it still didn’t work, the last solution is click a position, but that need to calculate.

first find a element which can use normal way to get it.

let’s say it named knownElement. calculate the distance between knownElement and the element you want to click, Let’s say x=10, y=25 ( pix), then we can use Action builder to move mouse and click it.

Actions builder = new Actions(driver);

builder.moveToElement(knownElement, 10, 25).click().build().perform();
