<div id="member_sel_div" style="">
    <table class="dataTable" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" summary="">
        <tbody>
               <tr class="heding">
                   <tr class="odd">
                           <td valign="top" width="4%">

                               <input id="mgrp_-1" class="reset" type="checkbox" onclick="showMembers(-1, 0)" value="-1" name="member_group_id[]" style="position: absolute; z-index: -1; visibility: hidden;"/>

                               <span class="jquery-checkbox jquery-checkbox-checked" style="-moz-user-select: none;">


                              <span class="mark jquery-checkbox-hover">

                              <img width="24" height="24" src="/purebenefits/dev/images/empty.png"/>

                             </span>
                         </span>
                    </td>

                   <td valign="top" style="padding-left:0;">NO GROUP</td>

            </tr>

I am working on a test case where more than one checkbox will appear and onclicking each check box it will call a function showMembers(checkbox value, 0)

In my test case i have first counted the number of checkboxes and then using loop i am able to click each checkboxes as well , but on clicking the checkbox its onclick function is not firing that why i am not able to proceed. i have used fireevent function also but the result is same

i am using selenium IDE , html code of the section is given above and the code i have written for selenium ide is given below

Answer 1

Have you tried Focusing on that element before applying fireEvent ? That might be a case.
