In this section, we will discuss on how to handle Locating Strategy by Name in selenium webDriver.
<form> Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br> Email: <input type="text" name="email"><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form>
From the above code, you can notice that the attribute “name” is attached to <input> tag. That means you can use this name attribute to find the element of the web page. This strategy following the Attribute-Based locator strategy. Let’s understand the below code.
WebElement wb = driver.findElement(By.name(name))
Here findElement will search the name attribute whose value is “name” and “email” and return and WebElement object variable.
Scenario with Example
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class Locator_By_ID {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
WebDriver driver= new ChromeDriver() ;
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("https://www.testinglpoint.com");
date_link=driver.findElement(By.name("date"));
