We can verify the visibility of web elements like edit box, checkbox, radio buttons and so on with the help of method listed bels −

• isDisplayed()

  This method checks if a webelement is present on the screen.

  Syntax −

  Boolean result = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[text()=’Coding Ground’]")).isDispayed();

• isSelected()

  This method checks the status of the radio button, check box and options in the static dropdown.

  Syntax −

  Boolean btnresult = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//xpath[contains(@class,’gsc-search-button’)]")).isSelected();

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

public class ElementStatus{
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
      "C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\chromedriver.exe");
      WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
      String url =
      "https://www.tutorialspoint.com/tutor_connect/index.php";
      // to verify if a static dropdown is selected with option isSelected()
      boolean drpdwnStatus = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@name=’selType’]"))
      .isSelected();
      // to verify if an element is present on page with isDisplayed()
      boolean editStatus = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id=’txtSearchText’]"))
      .isDisplayed();
      // to verify if a button is enabled with isEnabled()
      boolean butnStatus = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id=’searchSubmit’]"))
      .isEnabled();
      System.out.println("The button status is " + butnStatus);
      System.out.println
      ("The dropdown selected status is" + drpdwnStatus);
      System.out.println("The edit box display status is " + editStatus);
