Sometimes I face the problems when regular WebElement click() method does not work. For example I met such the problem when tried to locate the link under H2 like the following snippet:
The regular method of locating like driver.findElement(By.xpath("somexpath")).click() led to the exception saying some other element will get the click instead of one located by me. So I applied the following work-around:
<h2> <a href="something" title="something">Some text</a> </h2>
The regular method of locating like driver.findElement(By.xpath("somexpath")).click() led to the exception saying some other element will get the click instead of one located by me. So I applied the following work-around:
public void safeClick(WebElement element){ Actions builder = new Actions(getDriver()); builder.moveToElement(element).click().build().perform(); }where getDriver() just means your current WebDriver implementation. This made me capable to work-around the problem from one hand and even made click action closer to the actual action sequence performed by the user clicking anything on the page.
