Try using any of the following Xpaths,

Answer 2

Try

# means you take element with id. Check this post for details.

Answer 3

As guessed, the element is present inside a frame.

1. Please switch to the frame with below xpath.

   //iframe[@src = 'vcr/1404/Pages/newTicketV2.html']

Pass the instance of web element of the iframe above as argument to the

driver.switchTo().frame(_element);

2. Then perform the interaction with the intended element

   //input[@id = 'ticket-title-input']

3. After the interaction is over and when you think you dont have interact with any other element inside that frame, switch to default content

Answer 4

I believe that the element is present inside a frame, had a look at the top-most html line. I would suggest,

• find out the frame container of this element
• Switch to that frame and perform operation on that element.
• Switch back to the parent context

Hope this helps. Please share the entire html for better response.
