Need Help - How to Uncheck a checkbox in web driver with java

[mo]

Hi All,
I use web driver with java. I have a checkbox in a page that is
selected by default. How can I un-check it? Please help

Hi Mohammed,

 

As you Said, the check box already checked in your page.

 

so when ever that page loads, your test case should find the check box element and all you have to do is another check in the check box. so it will uncheck the check box.

(i.e) in your test case try with this command...

selenium.click("ID of the checkbox") -- if its static

or

selenium.click ("NAME of the checkbox")--if its dynamic

 

Try it ..this might work

 

Thanks

Saran

He is using WebDriver, not Selenium. Having said that, I also use
WebDriver, but have WebDriverBackedSelenium set up so I can use
Selenium methods when it is convenient. With Selenium you can do
selenium.uncheck("locator") to uncheck it or selenium.check("locator")
to check it, without knowing the current state. You can check the
state using selenium.isChecked("locator").

Thanks both Mike & Saran,

I imported "org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverBackedSelenium"  to my WebDriver java code as Mike mentioned and used selenium.click("name of checkbox") to uncheck the checkbox selection. Job done as expected

Thanks again guys

I would suggest the following as a WebDriver implementation:

 

public void check(By locator) throws Exception{

   WebElement checkBox = driver.findElement(locator);

   if(!checkBox.getAttribute("type").toLowerCase().equals("checkbox")){

        throw new Exception("This element is not a checkbox!");

    }

    if(checkBox.isSelected()){

        checkBox.click();

    }

}

   

public void uncheck(By locator) throws Exception{

    WebElement checkBox = driver.findElement(locator);

    if(!checkBox.getAttribute("type").toLowerCase().equals("checkbox")){

        throw new Exception("This element is not a checkbox!");

    }

    if(!checkBox.isSelected()){

        checkBox.click();

[Lutfi Dughman]

the negation should be in the check() not the uncheck method, in the check method if the checkbox is selected there is no need to click it.

 if(checkBox.isSelected()){

        checkBox.click();

Also you can replace toLowerCase().equals with equalsIgnoreCase() method

Hi All,

I have 2 buttons with same name . How to check whether its checked or unchecked.
I want to check only if its unchecked.
 
HTML snippet:

<input type="radio" onclick="cf(this)" name="dashboard_TSS_querygroup_TSS_refresh" value="true"> True&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="radio" checked="" onclick="cf(this)" name="dashboard_TSS_querygroup_TSS_refresh" value="false">False</td>

I am using WebDriver with Java.

Regards,
Dhanaraja.

They have the same name to make them exclusive to each other. Have
your developer add a unique ID to each one and you can address them
that way. The other option, if the HTML can't be changed, would be to
use XPath with a subscript [1] and [2].
