Selenium - Check Box Interaction

In this section, we will understand how to interact with Check Box. We can select a check box using the 'click' method and uncheck using the same 'click' method.

Let us understand how to interact with a check box using https://www.calculator.net/mortgage-calculator.html. We can also check if a check box is selected/enabled/visible.

Example

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class webdriverdemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
   
      WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
      //Puts a Implicit wait, Will wait for 10 seconds before throwing exception
      driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
      
      //Launch website
      driver.navigate().to("http://www.calculator.net/mortgage-calculator.html");
      driver.manage().window().maximize();
      
      //Click on check Box
      driver.findElement(By.id("caddoptional")).click();
      
      System.out.println("The Output of the IsSelected " +
         driver.findElement(By.id("caddoptional")).isSelected());      
      System.out.println("The Output of the IsEnabled " +
         driver.findElement(By.id("caddoptional")).isEnabled());
      System.out.println("The Output of the IsDisplayed " +
         driver.findElement(By.id("caddoptional")).isDisplayed());
      
      driver.close();
   }
} 

Output

Upon execution, the Check box is unchecked after the click command(as it was checked by default) and the output of the commands are displayed in the console.
