How to fire javascript event in Selenium?
We can fire JavaScript events in Selenium webdriver. Selenium can execute JavaScript events with the help of the JavaScript Executor. We shall pass the JavaScript commands as a parameter to the executeScript method.
We shall fire the JavaScript event of clicking an element. First of all, we shall identify the element with the help of any of the locators like xpath, css, link text, and so on.
We shall then pass argument [0].click() and webelement that shall be clicked as parameters to the executeScript method.
