How to verify whether Button is enabled or disabled using selenium RC or web driver

[sita maram]

Hi All,

 is there any method for verifying button is enabled or disabled using web driver or selenium RC. we have isEnabled() method available in web driver but it always returns false when button enabled.

Please provide solution for above scenario.

Thanks,
Ram.

Hi ,

The developer should maintain one attribute to make that control as enable or disable.

Can you please get that attribute value by the method called getattribute() in webdriver to know that particular element is enable or not.

Thanks
Santhosh.

Hi sindhu,
 
actually there is method to verify button status in selenium RC and web driver, but we need to verify whether button disabled or enabled. so, in my application developers provided "Disabled" property.

when button got disabled, plz find below firebug code:
<button class="x-btn-text " style="position: relative; width: 44px;" type="button" tabindex="0" aria-disabled="true">OK</button

when button got enabled, plz find below firebug code:
<button class="x-btn-text " style="position: relative; width: 44px;" type="button" tabindex="0" aria-disabled="false">OK</button

my code:

if(Globals.driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[text()='OK']")).getAttribute("aria-disabled").equals("false")){
        Globals.driver.findElement(By.className("x-panel-btns")).findElement(By.xpath("//button[text()='OK']")).click();
      }
else{
    Globals.driver.findElement(By.className("x-panel-btns")).findElement(By.xpath("//button[text()='Cancel']")).click();

}

Please let me know if more required.

Thanks,
Ram

Hi,

Please let me know if you have any concerns.

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me how to remove disabled property from input tags, since the attributes of input tags (like name and id) are dynamic, and not able to provide  static attribute values to get the disabled tag.

Sample html code snippet below.

<form>

  <fieldset disabled>

    <legend>Personalia:</legend>

    Name: <input type="text" name="uname"><br>

    Email: <input type="text" name="pwd"><br>

    Date of birth: <input type="text" name="dob">

  </fieldset>

</form>
