Unable to select checkbox within a table using Selenium WebDriver with Java

Having trouble checking a checkbox inside a table using Selenium Webdriver in Java? Even with version 2.52.0 of Selenium, the element not found error persists across different web browsers. The iFrame seems to be correct as I can interact with other components on the same screen without any issues.

Check out this screenshot of the problematic screen: Screen Shot

Here's a snippet of the HTML code causing the headache:

<div id="j_id_jsp_2033766868_1pc7:innerTbl::db" class="x13r" _afrcolcount="4" style="position: relative; width: 958px; overflow: hidden; height: 320px; z-index: 1;">
  <table class="x13s x14j" cellspacing="0" _startrow="0" _rowcount="3" _selstate="{}" _totalwidth="395" style="table-layout: fixed; position: relative; width: 958px;">
    <tbody>
      <tr class="p_AFHighlighted x13q" _afrrk="0">
        <td class="xir" nowrap="" align="left" style="width:25px;">
        <td class="xir" nowrap="" align="left" style="width:50px;">
          <span id="j_id_jsp_2033766868_1pc7:innerTbl:0:select" class="p_AFHoverTarget x20j x1v" _adftrc="j_id_jsp_2033766868_1pc7:innerTbl:0:select::icon-style">
          <span class="x2e">
          <span class="xk2">
            <input id="j_id_jsp_2033766868_1pc7:innerTbl:0:select::content" class="xtj" type="checkbox" value="t" name="j_id_jsp_2033766868_1pc7:innerTbl:0:select"/>
          </span>
          </span>
          </span>
        </td>
        <td class="xir" nowrap="" align="left" style="width:100px;">
        <td class="xir" nowrap="" align="left" style="width: 763px;">
      </tr>
      <tr class="x13q" _afrrk="1">
      <tr class="x13q" _afrrk="2">
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

I've tried mapping the XPath to:

//*[@id='j_id_jsp_2033766868_1pc7:innerTbl:0:select::content']

as well as

//*[@name='j_id_jsp_2033766868_1pc7:innerTbl:0:select']

and

//*[@id='j_id_jsp_2033766868_1pc7:innerTbl::db']/table/tbody/tr/td/td/span/span/span/input

Still stuck? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Answer №1

Looks like utilizing the value attribute could be helpful in this scenario.

//input[@value='t']

I recently provided a response here on how to interact with an element using actions and Javascript execution if a normal click doesn't yield the expected results.

Sincerely, Murali
