Take a closer look at the error

Errororg.openqa.selenium.InvalidSelectorException: The given
selector  //img[contains(@src,'login-fb-btn' is either invalid or does
not result in a WebElement. The following error occurred:
[InvalidSelectorError] Unable to locate an element with the xpath
expression  //img[contains(@src,'login-fb-btn' because of the
following error: 

arent you missing a )] a close bracket as well as a close square bracket ? Copy paste errors perhaps ?

Thanks & Regards

[supriya singla]

yes yes. Thankyou so much. let me check.

[supriya singla]

After opening the browser with corresponding url, i used:

try{

Thread.sleep(10000);

}

catch(Exception e){

System.out.println(e);

}

driver.findElement(By.xpath(" //img[contains(@src,'login-fb-btn')]")).click(); //login with fb

and now facing the following error.

http://www.ibibo.com

Errororg.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":" //img[contains(@src,'login-fb-btn')]"}

Command duration or timeout: 100 milliseconds

Supriya,

Your image is residing within a frame named "fconnect". You would need to switch to this frame and then try to fetch that element using the xpath that I shared earlier.

Below is the html snippet of the frame that I am talking about.

<iframe scrolling="no" height="26px" frameborder="0" width="180px" style="overflow: hidden; margin-top: 5px;" src="http://link.ibibo.com/fblink.php" name="fconnect" border="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" id="fconnect"></iframe>

Thanks & Regards
Krishnan Mahadevan

Supriya,

Ur missing one thing....ur getting the exception because element presents in the frame so...u need to switch to that particluar frame and perform some actions on that..

Like below..its working fine

    @Test
    public void t() throws Exception{
        driver.get("http://www.ibibo.com");
        Thread.sleep(5000);
        driver.switchTo().frame("fconnect");
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//img[contains(@src,'login-fb-btn.gif')]")).click();
    }

Thanks,
Jeevan

Thank you so much sir. Your code solved my problem. now facing problem in switching new window.  I used the following code:

selenium.openWindow("https://www.facebook.com/login.php?api_key=359602974470&skip_api_login=1&display=popup&cancel_url=http%3A%2F%2Flink.ibibo.com%2Ffb_register.php%3Fibibo_next%3DaHR0cDovL3d3dy5pYmliby5jb20v%26error_reason%3Duser_denied%26error%3Daccess_denied%26error_description%3DThe%2Buser%2Bdenied%2Byour%2Brequest.&fbconnect=1&next=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fdialog%2Fpermissions.request%3F_path%3Dpermissions.request%26app_id%3D359602974470%26redirect_uri%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Flink.ibibo.com%252Ffb_register.php%253Fibibo_next%253DaHR0cDovL3d3dy5pYmliby5jb20v%26display%3Dpopup%26response_type%3Dcode%26perms%3Dread_stream%252Cpublish_stream%252Coffline_access%252Cuser_birthday%252Cemail%26fbconnect%3D1%26from_login%3D1%26client_id%3D359602974470&rcount=1", "Mywindow");

selenium.selectWindow("Mywindow");

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

Supriya,

In the selenium forums we try to stick to a convention which is post on threads which are relevant to the original topic.

From your question, it seems like the original problem for which you had posted a query has been resolved and the follow up questions arent related to the original post (We call this as thread hijacking).

Would appreciate if you could please start a new thread on your question, so that when someone else is looking for specific help in the selenium forums he/she finds answers in a simple and easy way.

Cross posting on threads makes it increasingly difficult for people who search through forums for answers.

Thanks & Regards

Ok.Seems Right.

Thanks 

Supriya

[supriya singla]

May u please tell me how did u find this xpath?

Thanks

supriya

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

I made use of XPather plug-in to start off with, and then I fine tuned it with XPath functions to get the right value.
