Hai mukesh,

I am using selenium 3.0 and I am getting exception when performing mouse hover actions for selecting the option from flyout dropdown menu using Actions and Webelement.

Can you help me on this?

Thanks,

Hi Mukesh, the videos and the clarity of concept you provide via your videos is outstanding. Thanks for making them. Please i request you to make videos on how to automate bar graphs using selenium. example I am stuck if i have an image in canvas tag and then there is bar graph in it. how to proceed and automate it?

Hi Mukesh,
How did you define getAttribute as "innerHTML". that part was not clear for me.

[lavanyaaparamanandham]

Hi mukesh, why are you creating an xpath and getting all the links and running for loop and if condition, instead we can use linkText() method and click on the specific link right?. can you please explain why you did this way?.

Hi mukesh,
There is small problem in performing mouse hover.
--> When i print "innerHTML" it displays all the three Anchor tags (selenium/TestNg/Appium) .
-->But when i write if statement

{
elements.click();
}
--> It navigates to new window but "innerHTML" is only printing "selenium" remaining two anchor tags are not printing.

[BhaveshPanchal]

getting error with selenium 3. is there any solution for this ?

[GurudattaPraharaj]

none of the actions class operations are working on new version of selenium

Great Video, but quick question: how do we use assertion for scenarios where I have to validate text displayed when mouse hover over.

Link --> hover over --> validate the expected text when mouse hover over a link.
Button --> hover over --> validate the expected text when mouse hover over a button.

Thanks in advance bud!!! keep up the great work!!!

Nice video. Thanks. My question is about event handling. Is there a way to CATCH / TRAP when users mouse is over an element, like a button?

That is my question.
