http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7475449/webdriver-classname-with-space-using-java
This question received great answers in jquery and I was wondering if someone could give an example of this in
Java please?
I'm doing driver.findElement(By.className("current
The space is the issue, and I see the explanation at the link, but I'm not sure how to handle it in java, and don't have access to change the class name.
time")).click();
Pasting example of what i get in the firefox inspect id: Example with cssSelector below did not work, but i may be missing something.
<span><a class="current time" href="http://someurl/" onclick="s_objectID="http://someur/">url</a></span>
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[class='current time']"));element.click();
Edit#1 Based on html provided,
Looking at the html in your comment, it seems you have quite a few options to find the webElement. Here are your options,
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[class='current time']"));element.click();
or this should work too,
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a.current.time"));element.click();
You can also use linkText since the element is link. From the html you provided, the link text is 'url'
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.linkText("url"));element.click();
You can also use By.partialLinkText("partial
link text here");
You can also use xpath as:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@class='current time']"));element.click();
OR,
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text() = 'url']"));element.click();
