[Raju]

Hi All,

I would like to know how to use By.ByClassName?

Generally we use By.id("p1006ICGdrawingDiv-NoEdit") some thing like this...

Can any one tell me how to use By.ByClassName ...?

Hi Nagaraju,

In place of ByClassName , you can use By.className. In this method you can
pass the name of css class. Also you can use By.cssSelector .
Below is the documentaion of the function -

[image: Open Declaration]<eclipse-open:%E2%98%82=Genie/C:%5C/Automation%5C/Genie%5C/libs%5C/Blade-2.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar%3Corg.openqa.selenium(By.class%E2%98%83By~className~Ljava.lang.String;>

By<eclipse-javadoc:%E2%98%82=Genie/C:%5C/Automation%5C/Genie%5C/libs%5C/Blade-2.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar%3Corg.openqa.selenium(By.class%E2%98%83By>
.className(String<eclipse-javadoc:%E2%98%82=Genie/C:%5C/Automation%5C/Genie%5C/libs%5C/Blade-2.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar%3Corg.openqa.selenium(By.class%E2%98%83By~className~Ljava.lang.String;%E2%98%82String>className)


- className

public static By <../../../org/openqa/selenium/By.html> className(java.lang.String className)

Finds elements based on the value of the "class" attribute. If an
element has many classes then this will match against each of them. For
example if the value is "one two onone", then the following "className"s
will match: "one" and "two"
Parameters: className - The value of the "class" attribute to search for
Returns: a By which locates elements by the value of the "class"
attribute.


Thanks

Hi Naga,

Actually By.ByClassName is a static class defined in By.java. Internally
By.className is returning an object of this class.

*return** new ByClassName(className);*

And i guess ByClass name class should be private.

Thanks
