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.

  • You need to provide your HTML here, as well as the class you used – Yu Zhang Jul 17 '18 at 7:03
  • I added html code in first para but i think editor converted it to link.Here is the html code : <li class="wux-layouts-treeview-label" title="Shared with me">Shared with me</li> – Gitanjali Jul 17 '18 at 7:08
  • Where is your javascript code to perform click function? – Bharat Mane Jul 17 '18 at 8:52

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);

  • Thank you Bharat for the answer and it will work in selenium. But i am using Visual Studio code to write the javascript code and driver is unknown there(we have to use document instead). I have tried many options with my javascript by even adding the explicit event for click of that link. But no success :( – Gitanjali Jul 18 '18 at 5:44
  • Ohh..Please edit your question particular for Visual Studio. You can post the same one on Stackoverflow. Will update you if I got any info on how it works in VS. – Bharat Mane Jul 18 '18 at 6:30

Try this below code:

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

I hope this will work.
