Check If an Object/Element exists

[Manojith]

Hi,
Using Selenium 2 how can we find if an object/Element is present?
likewise is QTP we have something like
Browser(...).Page(...).WebElement().Exists(1)

Hi!
I have created an extension method that I use for this.

public static bool ElementExists(this IWebDriver webDriver, By
searchBy)
{
return webDriver.FindElements(searchBy).Any();
}

then I can call

webDriver.ElementExists(By.Id("someId"));

/**
* Find out if an element exists or not.
*
* @param String - An xpath locator
* @param WebDriver - The driver object to use to perform this element
search
* @param Boolean - Display a custom message if set to true
* @param String - The custom message you want to display if the locator
is not found
* @return boolean - True if element is found, otherwise false.
* @throws Exception
*/
public boolean isElementPresent(String xpathLocator, Boolean
displayCustomMessage, String customMessage, WebDriver browserController) {
try {
browserController.findElement(By.xpath(xpathLocator));
} catch (org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException Ex) {
if (displayCustomMessage) {
if (!customMessage.equals("")) {
System.out.print(customMessage);
}
} else {
logger.debug("Unable to locate Element: " + xpathLocator);
}
return false;
}
return true;
}
