How can I click on male tag in facebook using selenium

Question

I am unable to click on male radio button on facebook. Apparently both male and female RB has the same class name.

Please someone help me in this. I am stuck here actually.

Answer 1

There is an approach for locating an element using selenium.

First look for the ID then CSS Selector and then the XPath and then the Class Name.

Here is what I got from facebook both female and male have different ID and that is what you should be looking for.

<input type="radio" name="sex" value="1" id="u_0_9">

<input type="radio" name="sex" value="2" id="u_0_a">

Now that you know as how to approach the problem. I would suggest that you do the remaining thing rather than getting the complete answer.

Here is what I did

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Female')]")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Male')]")).click();
