Hi Ramesh,

You can upload files without clicking on upload button and opening popup dialog.

follow below steps:

• Find  web element with tag input and type='file'  using below xpath

//input[@type='file']

• Make it visible if it is hidden ( style.visibility='hidden' ) using javascript

    document.getElementById("myImg").style.visibility = "visible"; 

•  Send keys on above input element with absolute filepath

   driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='file']")).sendKeys("/absolute/filepath.jpeg");

It will upload file.

Let me know in case of any queries :)

Thanks Chhagan! I have learned a new thing today! It worked like a charm.

I was add a phone in my facebook status using automation

 _WebDriver=new FirefoxDriver();
          _WebDriver.navigate().to("http://www.facebook.com");
          _WebDriver.manage().window().maximize();
          _WebDriver.findElement(By.id("email")).sendKeys("userid");
          _WebDriver.findElement(By.id("pass")).sendKeys("pwd");

          WebElement Element = _WebDriver.findElement(By.id("persist_box"));

          if (Element.isSelected()==false)
          {
              Element.click();
          }
          _WebDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='loginbutton']/input")).click();
          Thread.sleep(3000);
       _WebDriver.findElement(By.id("js_0")).sendKeys("C:/Users/k_mohammedabdul/Desktop/Kaleem_Photo.jpg");
But changing the attribute is not as simple as you suggested.

We need to use executescript method to change attribute.
JavascriptExecutor JSE=(JavascriptExecutor) _WebDriver;

JSE.executeScript("arguments[0].setAttribute("style:visibility", "visible");", WebElement);

Good to hear that it helped you.

Yes, for executing javascript with webdriver we need to use javascript executor. I forgot to mention that.

Here i am posting complete java program to upload a file using webdriver.

hope this will help other readers as well.

public static void main(String[] args) {

		WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
		driver.get("https://how-old.net/");
		((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].style.visibility = 'visible'; arguments[0].style.height = '1px'; arguments[0].style.width = '1p'; arguments[0].style.opacity = 1",driver.findElement(By.id("uploadBtn")));
		driver.findElement(By.id("uploadBtn")).sendKeys("C:\\img.jpeg");

	}

Hi Ramesh,

Selenium can only interact with the browser, once a file window is opened Selenium loses control.
You'll need to interact with the file input element below the button.

Hi Chhagan,

Its throwing Element not visible error.
Have you executed your code?

[Kaleem Uddin Mohammed Abdul]

Use the below piece of code below executing the Send Keys. He already mentioned

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
		driver.get("https://how-old.net/");
		((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].style.visibility = 'visible'; arguments[0].style.height = '1px'; arguments[0].style.width = '1p'; arguments[0].style.opacity = 1",driver.findElement(By.id("uploadBtn")));
		driver.findElement(By.id("uploadBtn")).sendKeys("C:\\img.jpeg");

That is what I have done.
tried even copy pasting your exact code,still getting element not visible.

[Milan Yadav]

Working now x was missing in below.

arguments[0].style.width = '1p'

Can someone suggest why do we need to set all the attributes why can't this be done by only making it(arguments[0].style.visibility = 'visible') visible.

Thanks,
Milan

Because Selenium wants to simulate a real user-case.

An element could have the take visible but a size of 0. A real user would not see this element despite it's visibility being set as "visible" from a technical point of view. The element has no size so a human eye cannot see it.

This is why Selenium considers a lot more factors than only the visibility-tag.

And that is why you have to set those so that Selenium considers the element visible.
