Question

Something like:

WebElement inputs =  driver.findElement(By.tagName("input"));

or

List<WebElement> links = driver.findElementsBy(By.tagName("a"));

What i wanted was a name/value pair like structure which gives me tagName vs Quantity
My Objective is to have a list of these Elements and make a Series of tests associated with them, since different users would have their own unique set of these Elements per page.
I hope i got my message across.

Answer 1

You could do something like:

List<WebElement> allElements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*"));

or

List<WebElement> allElements = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("*"));

Then just sort the list as needed using getTagName or other functions.
