Check enability of a button when "enabled" attribute is not present. Selenium webdriver

[sanam]

Hi,

   I am using selenium webdriver(V 2.25). In my application I have a button.I need to check the enability of this button.

However, there is no "enabled" attribute for this button. The properties is like below.

If the button is enabled

<input type=button name=button1 title=my button onclick()= dosomething()>

If the button is disabled 

<input  type=button name=button1 title=my button>

The difference is that there are no events when the button is disabled.

Please suggest how to check for the enability when there is NO enabled attribute.

I tried using the webdriver function isenabled() , but this always returns true.

Thanks,

Sanam

I am sure the method isEnabled() does what you are looking for.

Hi,

The isenabled is returning true even when the button is disabled.

[Mike Hill]

i'm unsure of your testing framework, but in mine (nunit) i would write this

Assert.IsTrue(YOURCODEHERE); 

This is because isEnabled() is a boolean. You will need to handle that boolean result.

Show us your code.

Hi Mark,

             My code is like that

Webelement element=driver.findelementbyxpath(//xpath)

boolean isEnabled =element.isEnabled()


This is returning as true even when the element is disabled.

The html of the app is like this.

1) When the button is enabled

<input name="Legend" title="Mass Scheduling" class="masSchBut masSchButdn" id="Legend" onmouseover="this.className = 'masSchBut masSchButdn'" onmouseout="this.className = 'masSchBut masSchButnor'" onclick="JavaScript:displayMassApptScreen();" type="button"/>

2) When the button is disabled

<input name="Legend" title="Mass Scheduling" class="masSchBut masSchButIs" id="Legend"  type="button"/>

please notice that the class names are different in both the cases and events are not present when the button is disabled.

Thanks,

Sanam
