public class ElementStatus{
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",

      WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
      String url =

      // 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);
