How to Enter the text into Input Field(textbox or text area) ?
>The following are the different ways you can type text into the text box or text area fields using Selenium:
>Using sendKeys()
Test Steps :
-
-
- Launch the Firefox browser
- Navigate to AppUrl
- Enter Keyword into text box
-
> Using JavascriptExecutor
Test Steps :-
-
- Launch the Firefox browser
- Navigate to AppUrl ü Identify Enter Keyword text box
- Enter Keyword into text box using javascript
-
Selenium Code :
package seleniumProject;>Using Action Class
Test Steps :-
-
- Launch the Firefox browser
- Navigate to AppUrl ü Identify Enter Keyword text box
- create action class object for that driver
- Enter the Keyword(i.e Enter Guru Technologies Keyword)
- Closing current driver window
-
Selenium Code :
package ActionClassPack;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;
public class EnterText_Into_InputField_Using_ActionClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Launch the Firefox browser
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
// Navigate to AppUrl
driver.get("https://www.Gurutechnologies.com/jobs/");
// Identify Enter Keyword text box
WebElement EnterKeyword = driver.findElement(By.id("keyword"));
// create action class object for that driver
Actions act = new Actions(driver);
// Enter the Keyword(i.e Enter Guru Technologies Keyword)
act.sendKeys(EnterKeyword,"Guru Technologies").perform();
// Closing current driver window
driver.close();
}
}
What is the difference between findElement() and findElements()?
-
- findElement() : By using this we can identify single webelement On a webpage.
Ex :
Button, checkbox,radio button etc.
Syntax :
-
-
- open the firefox browser
- navigate the application url
- Enter the username
- Close the current Firefox Browser
-
Selenium Code :
package seleniumProject;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class findElementMethod {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
// open the firefox browser
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
// navigate the application url
driver.get("http://www.kosmiktechnologies.com/seleniumLiveProject/eKart/admin/");
// Enter the username
driver.findElement(By.name("username")).sendKeys("Kadmin");
// Close the current Firefox Browser
driver.close();
-
- findElements() : By using this we can identify list of webelements at a time On a webpage.
Ex :
-
- Suppose if you want to identify dropdown values at a time then we use findElements method.
- Suppose if you want to identify list of frames at a time in a webpage then we use findElements method.
- Suppose if you want to identify list of links at a time in a webpage then we use findElements method.
Syntax :
>List elementName = driver.findElements(By.Locator("LocatorValue"));
TestSteps :
-
- open the firefox browser
- navigate the application url
- Identify all the links and store into total_Links variable
- Print the total Links on a webpage
- Close the current Firefox Browser window
Selenium Code :
package seleniumProject;
import java.util.List;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class findElementsMethod {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
// open the firefox browser
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
// navigate the application url
driver.get("http://www.Gurutechnologies.com/seleniumLiveProject/eKart/admin/");
//Identify all the links and store into total_Links variable
List total_Links = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
//Print the total Links on a webpage
System.out.println(total_Links.size());
// Close the current Firefox Browser
driver.close();
}
}
Note:
WebElement is an in-built interface in selenium which is used to store anything captured from the web application, it works like a datatype and it can be used to store information about links, images, buttons, radio button, etc.
