How to find an element using the attribute “HTML tag name” in Selenium?
We can find an element using the element tag name with Selenium webdriver with the help of locator tagname. To locate an element with tagname, we have to use the By.tagName method.
In the html code, a tagname is usually enclosed by <>, for example, an anchor tag <a> represents links on the page. An input tag represents text boxes, checkboxes or radio buttons. Let us look at the html code of an element and try to identify it with its tagname −
In the above image, the text – You are browsing the best resources for has the h4 tag.
Syntax
WebElement e = driver. findElement(By.tagName("h4"));Example
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
public class LocatorTagName{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver",
"C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
//implicit wait
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
//URL launch
driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm");
// identify element with tag name
WebElement n = driver.findElement(By.tagName("h4"));
//obtain text on element
String s = n.getText();
System.out.println("Text on element is : " + s);
driver.close();
}
}Output
