Javascript : click() method doesn't click the link

Question

I have link with below properties on my Webpage:

<li class="XXXX" title="This is test"> TestLink </li>

I am trying with below code for clicking on above link with Javascript:

var a = document.getElementsByClassName("XX")[2]
a.click()

but it shows result 'undefined'.

Also when I check events available for this link with

getEventListeners(a)->

it's showing:

blank {}

Please help me to click on this link.

Answer 1

You can use XPath, linkText or className to locate your Link object.

By XPath:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[@title='This is test']"));

By linkText:

driver.findElement(By.linkText("TestLink"));

Code to Perform Click:

WebElement ele_Link= driver.findElement(By.linkText("TestLink"));
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", ele_Link);

Answer 2

Try this below code:

var a = document.getElementsByClassName("XX");
a[2].click();

I hope this will work.
