  • I think you need to consider the selector you are using. You have tried with class title which may be present in other parts of the DOM and so it may not work as expected. As suggested by others, try css or xpath selectors. You can try d.findElement(By.className("clauses")).click() to click on Clauses or d.findElement(By.className("myAssignedRequests")).click() to click on My Assigned Requests

Whole web page is frame. So first I switched to frame & then performed actions

d.switchTo().frame("frame-8_SNb34A224IASwxX0yc");
d.findElement(By.xpath("//[@id='tabviewMainContainerLexApp']/div/ul/li[11]/a/span")).click(); //click on tab using X-path

You can use byXpath to find element using xPath expressions. To get the link you should use the following:

//li[@class='uwa-tab clauses']/a[@href='#clauses']

To go further to get the span:

//li[@class='uwa-tab clauses']/a[@href='#clauses']/span[.='Clauses']

or a simplified one without the classes:

//li/a/span[.='Clauses']

If you want to find the link (<a>..</a>) and you want to filter only by the title you could use:

//li/a/span[.='Clauses']/..

This one locates the span by its text and then steps back to its parent by the /...

Also there are many more possibilities, this locator table cheat-sheat summarizes them quite well.

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(.,'Clauses')]")).click();
