Selenium – access a DOM object with Selenium

automated-testsautomationseleniumweb-testing

I am coming from a QuickTest Pro background where I can get to any element's DOM object with the .object method. I want to know what the equivalent is in Selenium RC.

Best Solution

Sure you can. The real question is: what do you want to do with it? Check out the getEval() command. It can evaluate any JavaScript and return the result in a String format. That means you can't get the full DOM object back in to Java/C#/perl/etc, but you can get back attributes of it (ie: innerHTML, etc).

The import statement is for Java. For other languages, it is maybe different. For example, in Python it is from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

Selenium – Scroll Element into View with Selenium

Have tried many things with respect to scroll, but the below code has provided better results.

This will scroll until the element is in view:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("id_of_element"));
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);
Thread.sleep(500); 

//do anything you want with the element
