Selenium Webdriver Methods
Selenium WebDriver methods with Examples
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.ericbieller.com/examples/dragdrop/");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(3,TimeUnit.MINUTES);
Actions act = new Actions(driver);
WebElement src = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='items']/div[1]"));
WebElement des = driver.findElement(By.id("trash"));
act.clickAndHold(src).build().perform(); //For each action we need to build and Perform
act.moveToElement(des).build().perform();

Steps to make Single Select in Drop down through Selenium Web Driver.
1. Create Driver for any Browser(Mozilla)
2. Go to the URL
3. Fetch the Drop Down element and create an object as WebElement.
4. Create an Select object for the Drop Down Element object.
5. Create a List and collect all Options through Select Object.
6. Create a Iterator object for the List.
7. Get the size of the List.
8. Loop through and check for required element.
Example
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("selectedCustomer"));
Select dd= new Select(element);
List allOptions= dd.getOptions();
//To go through the list, we can use an Iterator.
//Iterator should be of the same type as the List
//which is WebElement in this case.
Iterator it = allOptions.iterator();
//Using while loop, we can iterate till the List has
//a next WebElement [hasNext() is true]
//number of items in the list
System.out.println(allOptions.size());
while(it.hasNext()){
//When you say it.next(), it points to a particular
//WebElement in the List.
WebElement el = it.next();
//Check for the required element by Text and click it
if(el.getText().equals("mango")){
System.out.println(el.getAttribute("value"));
el.click();
}
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//You can deselect the options
usr.deselectAll(); //Deselect ALL selected elements
//or
usr.deselectByIndex(0); //Deselect By using Index
//or
usr.deselectByValue(value); //Deselect By using Value
//or
usr.deselectByVisibleText(text); //Deselect By using Text
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Browser opens in a new window or in a new tab, Web Driver cannot shift the control to the new Window/ Tab. We need to collect the window handles in a page. Whenever a new window opens we need to iterate and shift to the latest window handle.

while(flag){
try {
WebElement el = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(@class,'ui-datepicker-group') and descendant::span[text()='March']]/descendant::a[text()='5']")); // Required future date
if(el !=null) //Check if the required date element is found or not
{
el.click(); // if required Date is found, then click the date
flag=false;
}
}
catch (Exception e) { //Catches exception if no element found
try {
Thread.sleep(500);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@title='Next']")).click(); //Click on next month
}

19. Page Onload authentication
Sometimes when you are Automating Web pages, you may come across Page onload Authentication window. This window is not java popup/div. It is windows popup. Selenium directly cannot handle this windows popup.
Hence we use Autoit sowftware tool. Through Selenium we can handle this situation using Autoit.
Please follow the steps mentioned below.
1.Download Autoit from the following URl
( http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads/ )
2.Install downloaded software.
3. Open Script Editor
Start=>ProgramFiles=>AutoIt =>SciTE Script Editor.
4.Open Object Identifier.
Start=>ProgramFiles=>AutoIt =>AutoIt Window Info.
5.Drag and Drop finder tool in AutoIt Window Info, to the Window you need to identify.
6.Collect the Title Name of window from (AutoIt Window Info.)
7.Write the Script in the Editor.
----------------------------------------------------AUTOIT CODE-----------------------------------------------------
WinWaitActive("Authentication Required")
Send("admin")
Send("{TAB} admin{TAB} {ENTER}")
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.Save the file as default save.(Authentication1.exe)
9.RUN/Compile the SCRIPT, it creates an exe.
