Can't click on items in drop down menu

[Dan Franko]

Using the webDriver backed selenium aka Selenium 2.0 I can't seem to click on menu items like I used to be able to.  It's a common menu where you mouse over and other items appear.  Previous to this we would just click the item we wanted in the list without going through the whole exercise of mousing over and then selecting the now visible item, but that won't work now as we can't click on items that aren't visible.  Problem is I've tried mousing over and still haven't been able to click on this link.  The webpage is below it's the 'Our Services' tab I'm attempting to click on and to get a menu item below that.

I've tried 

selenium.fireEvent(PublicHome.TAB_OURSERVICES, "onmouseover");

selenium.fireEvent(PublicHome.TAB_OURSERVICES, "onclick");

selenium.mouseOver(PublicHome.TAB_OURSERVICES);

Thanks in advance for your help!

remove the on from onmouseover and onclick

selenium.fireEvent(PublicHome.TAB_OURSERVICES, "mouseover");

selenium.fireEvent(PublicHome.TAB_OURSERVICES, "click");

Oh yeah.  Whoops!  However, that doesn't seem to have solved my issue.  Even with that correction nothing happens when those steps execute.  They appear to be executed, but nothing occurs on the application using firefox or ie.

[Lutfi Dughman]

can you try a simple click or clickAt  for the tab, i noticed that clicking the tab also shows the menu.

Clicking the tab actually brings you to a page.

[Lutfi Dughman]

umm, what about mouseMouse and mouseMoveAt, did you try these.

Those don't work either.

My apologies if this spams the thread, I've tried posting three times now.

This was the only workaround I could get working.

WebDriver driverFF = new FirefoxDriver();

driverFF.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(3000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

driverFF.get("https://www.pb.com/addressrightnow/");

//Get the element of the dropdown ('Our Services')         

RenderedRemoteWebElement r = (RenderedRemoteWebElement)driverFF.findElement(By.className("link2"));

Point p = r.getLocationOnScreenOnceScrolledIntoView();

Robot robot = new Robot();

robot.mouseMove(p.getX(), p.getY());  

//Get the element of the navigation bar        

WebElement dropdownElement = driverFF.findElement(By.className("mainNav"));

//Get the element that we wish to click on ('Overview')        

dropdownElement.findElement(By.id("a_cat_ourServices_overview")).click();

driverFF.quit();

Let me know if this helps.

Hi,

 

Use

selenium.select(locator,label)

selenium.click(value)

 

If you have duplicate label in the dropdown

You can use

selenium.select(locator,value)

selenium.click(value)

 

Regards

I would suggest that duplicate labels in drop down menu’s should be raised as bugs.  How is the end user supposed to know which label to use?

I tried several work arounds, this was the only one I could get

working.

WebDriver driverFF = new FirefoxDriver();
driverFF.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(3000,
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
driverFF.get("https://www.pb.com/addressrightnow/");

//Finds the class of the dropdown we want to select

RenderedRemoteWebElement r =
(RenderedRemoteWebElement)driverFF.findElement(By.className("link2"));
Point p = r.getLocationOnScreenOnceScrolledIntoView();
Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.mouseMove(p.getX(), p.getY());

//Finds the class of the navigation panel

WebElement dropdownElement =
driverFF.findElement(By.className("mainNav"));

//Finds the ID of the link we want to click (in this case
'overview')

dropdownElement.findElement(By.id("a_cat_ourServices_overview")).click();

driverFF.quit();

Let me know if that helps.

I tried several things and this was the only workaround that I could
get functioning.

Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.mouseMove(p.getX(), p.getY());

//Get the navigation toolbar element

WebElement dropdownElement =
driverFF.findElement(By.className("mainNav"));

//Get the element we wish to click in (in this case 'overview') from
the nav toolbar
dropdownElement.findElement(By.id("a_cat_ourServices_overview")).click();

driverFF.quit();
