Handling Drag & Drop for HTML5 | Robot [Webdriver]

Usual drag & drop doesn't work on pages built with HTML5. Here, I've used Robot for controlling the Mouse Actions to work with HTML5 websites.

Snippet

@Test
public void dragAndDrop() throws AWTException, InterruptedException {

driver.get("http://demo.kaazing.com/forex/");
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
WebElement sourceElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//li[@name='dragSource'])[13]"));
Action drag = builder.clickAndHold(sourceElement).build();
drag.perform();
 
WebElement targetElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//section[@id='section1']/div[2]"));
Point coordinates = targetElement.getLocation();
Robot robot = new Robot(); //Robot for controlling mouse actions
robot.mouseMove(coordinates.getX(),coordinates.getY()+120);
Thread.sleep(5000);
}

Note| Java Robot can also be used for various actions like locating tooltips, etc.,
