Road to execute JavaScript in Webdriver

Some time we need to execute JavaScript function of application using webdriver or need to inject a piece of java script code to perform some action in application.

Webdriver provide a “JavascriptExecutor “class for executing java script, Here is step and code for the same.
First you need to create “JavascriptExecutor” class object.

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

Now call “executeScript()” method by passing java script code as a argument.

js .executeScript(“java script code”)

Here are some more examples.

String readyState = (String)js.executeScript("return document.readyState");

String title = (String)js.executeScript("return document.title");

String domain = (String)js.executeScript("return document.domain");

WebElement el   = (WebElement)js.executeScript("return document.getElementById('rentc');");

js.executeScript("return document.getElementById('submit').click();");

Road to switch window in webdriver

In this post I am going to show you that how to switch windows in webdriver(selenium 2). Below are some circumstances where we need to some trick to switch window.

1. Suppose you have only two windows one is parent and other is child window (opened window), your new window and parent window has similar title.

In Java:

Set windows = driver.getWindowHandles();

Iterator iter = windows.iterator();                                    

String parented  = iter.next();

driver.switchTo().window(iter.next());

In C#

String parentId = driver.WindowHandles.FirstOrDefault();

String childId = driver.WindowHandles.LastOrDefault();

driver.SwitchTo().Window(childId );

In above example I store parent Id for further switch to parent window.
