Most cliched Selenium questions...

I see following Selenium questions time and again on multiple Selenium forums (StackOverflow, Google Groups, QAForums) -

  1. Does Selenium IDE work with IE?
  2. How do I read data from excel using Selenium?
  3. Should I use selenium 1 or 2?
  4. How do I handle js error using Selenium?
  5. How do I handle pop up window using Selenium?
  6. Does Selenium support Window application?
  7. How do I upload a file using Selenium?
Well I am am not posting solution for any of these problems as net is filled with all possible solutions for these scenarios.

Return only first or last element from webelements collection

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos .     We often come across situation when there are multiple elements on a page and we probably like to exercise only a few of them using selenium webdriver. May be just first and last element. For example on a search result page we may like to click on only first and last link and not all. This is when Iterables API comes handy.

If your expression is right then html snippet of the application element corresponding to the css selector would be displayed - If you mouse over the html snippet in chrome console then it would highlight the corresponding element in application - If you want to clean console of previously wri
