Locating Strategies- (By CSS-Tag and Class)

In this section, you will learn how to locate a particular web element using CSS - Tag and Class Selector.

As we know that locating a particular web element involves inspection of its HTML codes.

Locating Strategies- By CSS-Tag and Class

The Java Syntax for locating a web element through CSS - Tag and Class Selector is written as:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("Tag.Value of Class attribute"))

Therefore, for locating the "Automation Testing" Checkbox on the sample web page we will use the input tag along with the value of its Class attribute:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input.Automation"))

We have created a sample script for you to get a better understanding of how to use CSS - Tag and Class Selector. We have embedded comments in each section of code which will guide you through whole automation process.

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;

public class SampleTwo {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
	// System Property for Gecko Driver 
	System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","D:\\GeckoDriver\\geckodriver.exe" );
		
	// Initialize Gecko Driver using Desired Capabilities Class
		DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
		capabilities.setCapability("marionette",true);
		WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
		
      // Launch Website
	 driver.navigate().to("https://www.testandquiz.com/selenium/testing.html");
	 
	
		
	// Locate the checkbox by cssSelector and check it using click() function
	 driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input.Automation")).click();
			
	 
	// Close the Browser
	 driver.close();
	
	}
