I am trying to get the status of the checkbox, whether checked or not in selenium using java. Below is the code of the html and the code i have written:
HTML Code::
<div class="icheckbox_square-aero" style="position: relative;" aria-checked="false" aria-disabled="false">
<input id="IAgree" class="icheckbox_square-aero" type="checkbox" required="" name="IAgree" style="position: absolute; top: -20%; left: -20%; display: block; width: 140%; height: 140%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background: rgb(255, 255, 255) none repeat scroll 0% 0%; border: 0px none; opacity: 0;">
<ins class="iCheck-helper" style="position: absolute; top: -20%; left: -20%; display: block; width: 140%; height: 140%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background: rgb(255, 255, 255) none repeat scroll 0% 0%; border: 0px none; opacity: 0;"></ins>
</div>
Programming code::
String loc_iAgree = pr.getProperty("iagree_xpath");
//iagree_xpath is declared in properties file as "iagree_xpath = //form[@id='myWizard']/div/section[3]/div[3]/div/ins"
uia.clickOnCheckbox("xpath", loc_iAgree);
code for clickOnCheckbox() method::
public void clickOnCheckbox(String loc_Type, String loc_Value) {
try {
if (loc_Type.equalsIgnoreCase("id")) {
element = driver.findElement(By.id(loc_Value));
} else if (loc_Type.equalsIgnoreCase("name")) {
element = driver.findElement(By.name(loc_Value));
} else if (loc_Type.equalsIgnoreCase("xpath")) {
element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(loc_Value));
} else if (loc_Type.equalsIgnoreCase("linktext")) {
element = driver.findElement(By.linkText(loc_Value));
} else if (loc_Type.equalsIgnoreCase("partiallinktext")) {
element = driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText(loc_Value));
} else if (loc_Type.equalsIgnoreCase("cssSelector")) {
element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(loc_Value));
} else {
System.out.println("provide valid locator Type");
}
String value;
if (element.isEnabled()) {
element.click();
value = element.getAttribute("checked");
System.out.println(value);
} else {
System.out.println("element is not present or not enabled");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
throw (e);
}
}
Here the value returns null even if the checkbox is getting checked.
Is there any other way to get the status of the checkbox back to the calling program??
