Question

Selenium with ruby how to identify an object by its type? e.g

<input type="text" name="FirstName" value=""> 

What is the ruby code to identify this kind of element?

Answer 1

You can identify an element by it's type using CSS and passing in the type as the locator. In this case I'm using find_element to do identify it:

@driver.find_element(css: '[type="text"]')

You could also do this for the name attribute:

@driver.find_element(css: '[name="FirstName"]')
