Clicking on hidden element in Selenium WebDriver

0 votes

I have a grid which displays some records. When I click on a record and inspect that element it is shown that it is hidden but it is visible in the grid.

My HTML code is:

<a href="http://192.168.1.6/eprint_prod_3.8/settings/othercost_add.aspx?type=edit&id=805" title="Plastic Spiral Bind"
<div style="float: left; width: 99%; overflow: hidden; height: 15px; overflow: hidden"> Plastic Spiral Bind </div>
</a>

Selenium code for the same:

driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Plastic Spiral Bind")).click();

let us first store that element in the object, and then use the below code to click on that hidden element:

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
