How to use fromString method of org.openqa.selenium.Enum PageLoadStrategy class

I ran across this same problem and could not find any solutions. Came up with a solution and posting it here, hope this helps someone with the same problem. I created a class to handle stale elements depending on their type, cssselector, id, etc and simply call it like I would any other page object.

public void StaleElementHandleByID (String elementID)
{
    int count = 0;
    boolean clicked = false;
    while (count < 4 && !clicked)
    {
        try 
        {
            WebElement yourSlipperyElement= driver.findElement(By.id(elementID));
            yourSlipperyElement.click(); 
            clicked = true;
        } 
        catch (StaleElementReferenceException e)
        {
            e.toString();
            System.out.println("Trying to recover from a stale element :" + e.getMessage());
            count = count+1;
        }
    }
}

I'd recommend only using this on elements you know cause problems for WebDriver.

Just for anyone else who's looking for an answer in Ruby, Python, and C# bindings (Selenium 2.33.0).

Note that the actual keys to send depend on your OS. For example, Mac uses CMD + T, instead of Ctrl + T.

Ruby

require 'selenium-webdriver'

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
driver.get('http://stackoverflow.com/')

body = driver.find_element(:tag_name => 'body')
body.send_keys(:control, 't')

driver.quit

Python

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com/")

body = driver.find_element_by_tag_name("body")
body.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + 't')

driver.close()

C#

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;

namespace StackOverflowTests {

    class OpenNewTab {

        static void Main(string[] args) {

            IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://stackoverflow.com/");

            IWebElement body = driver.FindElement(By.TagName("body"));
            body.SendKeys(Keys.Control + 't');

            driver.Quit();
        }
    }
}

This isn't a normal drop-down select menu. Hence, using Select won't work in this case. Without seeing the complete site, I'm not sure what exactly must be done to select it.

But try simply clicking on the div element when the options in the dropdown are visible.

//I'm assuming that this will display the dropdown list
driver.findElement(byAgentCodes).click(); 

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@data-value='523-23-20275']"));

driver.findElement(By.id("26110162")).isSelected();

or

String str = driver.findElement(By.id("26110162")).getAttribute("checked");
if (str.equalsIgnoreCase("true"))
{
    System.out.println("Checkbox selected");
}

if the ID is changing... use the following XPATH:

//input[span='Seleccionar como tarjeta predeterminada']

or

//input[@name='address' and @type='radio']

If you are using Webdriver then the item you are looking for is Selected.

Often times in the render of the checkbox doesn't actually apply the attribute checked unless specified.

So what you would look for in Selenium Webdriver is this

isChecked = e.findElement(By.tagName("input")).Selected;

As there is no Selected in WebDriver Java API, the above code should be as follows:

isChecked = e.findElement(By.tagName("input")).isSelected();

Get all the window handles then iterate through them, switching webdriver to the new handle, then calling the close method. Obviously skip this for the original handle, then switch back to the remaining handle.

Something like;

    String originalHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();

    //Do something to open new tabs

    for(String handle : driver.getWindowHandles()) {
        if (!handle.equals(originalHandle)) {
            driver.switchTo().window(handle);
            driver.close();
        }
    }

    driver.switchTo().window(originalHandle);

Earlier, I was using IE11 with Selenium WebDriver 2.5.3 and IEDriver -2.53.0. I got the same issue. I changed the capabilities by setting some properties for IE programmatically and it worked. Here's the code snippet:

    DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
    caps.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INITIAL_BROWSER_URL, Configuration.getConfig("My URL"));
    caps.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.IGNORE_ZOOM_SETTING, true);

If you replace

//Update the value of cell
cell = sheet.getRow(row).getCell(col);
cell.setCellValue("Pass");

With

//Retrieve the row and check for null
HSSFRow sheetrow = sheet.getRow(row);
if(sheetrow == null){
    sheetrow = sheet.createRow(row);
}
//Update the value of cell
cell = sheetrow.getCell(col);
if(cell == null){
    cell = sheetrow.createCell(col);
}
cell.setCellValue("Pass");

It will work!

Yes, there is a way.

Here is some pseudo-code:

List<WebElement> el = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("*"));

for ( WebElement e : el ) {
  add(e.tagName());
}
