Selenium WebDriver - WebElement Commands

Before proceeding with this section, first we should know the basic terminology related to web elements in WebDriver.

What is Web Element?

The term web element refers to a HTML element. The HTML documents are composed of HTML elements. It consists a start tag, an end tag and the content in between. For instance, a HTML element is written as: "<tagname> content </tagname>"

In WebDriver, we have several commonly used web element commands and actions. The following screenshot displays the eclipse web element command panel.

Selenium WebDriver - WebElement Commands

Note: To get the web element object, we have to write the statement as:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("UserName"));

Here, the UserName is the value of the id attribute, used as a unique identification for the desired web element.

Given are some of the most commonly used WebElement commands for Selenium WebDriver.

clear() : void

Command:

element.clear();

Code snippet:

element.clear();
             
//Or can be written as
             
driver.findElement(By.id("UserName")).clear();

2. Sendkeys Command

Method:

sendKeys(CharSequence? KeysToSend) : void

Command:

element.sendKeys("text");

Code snippet:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("UserName"));
element.sendKeys("JavaTpoint");
             
//Or can be written as
             
driver.findElement(By.id("UserName")).sendKeys("JavaTpoint");

driver.findElement(By.linkText("javaTpoint")).click();

4. IsDisplayed Command

boolean staus = driver.findElement(By.id("UserName")).isDisplayed();

5. IsEnabled Command

Code snippet:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("UserName"));
boolean status = element.isEnabled();
             
//Or can be written as
             
boolean staus = driver.findElement(By.id("UserName")).isEnabled();
             
//Or can be used as
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("userName"));
boolean status = element.isEnabled();
// Check that if the Text field is enabled, if yes enter value
if(status){
element.sendKeys("javaTpoint");
}

6. IsSelected Command
