Mouse over DOM 

Mouse Over Dom can be used to analyze element in a web page.

This would be useful for the applications which are to be automated but do not
support Firefox Browser (Hence Selenium IDE or Firebug can not be used to
analyze elements). Browser which are currently supported are -

Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape 8, Opera 7.5+ and MSIE6+

    Even though it's not as fast and complete the real version of firebug, it's a great tool for "IE only" applications...

Using chrome console to test xPath and css selectors

Since the advent of selenium there have been many plugin to test xPath / css selectors but you don’t need any of them if you have chrome browser. Using Chrome console you can test both xPath and css selectors.

Email confirmation seems to be integral part of any registration process. I came across an application which lets you provide your email address. You can follow the sign up link in you mail and then complete the registration process. Lets consider we provide GMail address for it.

(By the way I am assuming that you have already completed watching selenium training videos :)). Once we have collection of web element then we can use Iterables to get only first or last element as following - Consider that we fetch collection of element as - List< WebElement > webElements = getDriver().findElements(By. id ( "htmlID" ));   Now we can get the first web element from this collection as -  WebElement firstElement = Iterables. getFirst (webElements,  getDriver().findElement(By. id ( "defaultElement" )));   Herein second argument -   (getDriver().findElement(By. id ( "defaultElement" )))    in the me
