Question

WebDriver->I am trying to capture the ‘date’ selected from a UI-Calender. I want to find the ‘date’ element selected using javascript.For which I used the following :

WebElement element = (WebElement) ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("return $('#abc')");

String s=element.getAttribute("value");

System.out.println("  "+s);

But strangely when I add the above lines, Firefox stops responding, then script stops working .Version firefox:3.6

Answer 1

That’s because return $('#abc') returns an array of DOM elements. You should use return $('#abc')[0].

WebElement element = (WebElement) ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("return $('#abc')[0]");
