Syntax − driver.findElement(By.name("<<name expression>>")).
CSS Selector − This can be derived from element tags and attributes.
Syntax −
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("<<tagname[attribute=’value’]>>")).
xpath − This can be derived from element tags and attributes.
Syntax −
driver.findElement(By.xpath("<<//tagname[@attribute=’value’]>>")).
TagName − This can be derived from the HTML tags to identify the elements.
Syntax − driver.findElement(By.tagName("<<tagname>>")).
LinkText − This can be derived from the anchor text to identify the elementsz
Syntax − driver.findElement(By.linkText("<<anchor text>>")).
PartialLinkText − This can be derived from the partial anchor text to identify the elements
Syntax − driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("<<partial anchor text>>")).
Classname − This can be derived from the class name attribute
Syntax − driver.findElement(By.className("<<class name exp>>")).
Example
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
public class Locator {
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/index.htm";
driver.get(url);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
// Identify with Id attribute
driver.findElement(By.Id("gsc-i-id1")).click();
// Identify with name attribute
driver.findElement(By.name("search")).click();
//Identify with css attribute driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[name=’search’]"))
.click();
//Identify with xpath attribute driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name=’search’]"))
.click();
// Identify with class name attribute
driver.findElement(By.className("gsc-input")).click();
//Identify with link text attribute
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Home")).click();
//Identify with partial link text attribute
driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Hom")).click();
//Identify with tagname attribute
driver.findElement(By.tagName("input")).click();
driver.close();
