WebElements in Selenium WebDriver

Selenium WebDriver WebElement methods are applicable to almost all DOM elements on a web page. Each WebElement is represented in Selenium via the WebElement interface – which is used by Selenium to interact with visible and invisible elements on the web page.

  • sendKeys(javadang.CharSequence… keysToSend) – Use this method to simulate typing into an element, which may set its value.
  • clear() – If this element is a text entry element, this will clear the value.
  • click() – Click this element.
  • getAttribute(java.lang.String name) – Get the value of the given attribute of the element.
  • getCssValue(java.lang.String propertyName) – Get the value of a given CS.S property.
  • getLocation() – Where on the page is the top left-hand corner of the rendered element?
  • getSizeO – What is the width and height of the rendered element?
  • getTagName() – Get the tag name of this element.
  • getText() – Get the visible text
  • isDisplayed() – Is this element displayed or not? This method avoids the problem of having to parse an element’s *style” attribute.
  • isEnabled() – Is the element currently enabled or not? This will generally return true for everything but disabled input elements.
  • isSelected() – Determine whether or not this element is selected or not.
