  • Selenium version : 2.53
  • Windows server 2012 OS
  • Internet explorer 11

Observation : Sometimes by changing some security settings , says there is no such element with partial text is present. But same code runs fine in both firefox and chrome.

It happens when you download 32 bit IE driver server and use it on 64 bit OS or Vice-versa. As this can be a point of Issue so I suggest you to download latest IE driver of relative 32 or 64 bit.

Follow the url to download IE driver:

    But if I use 64 bit IE driver , typing in text field through automation is entering single letter by letter..and yes my system is 64 bit. – Rahul Jul 01 '16 at 08:46
  • Using 64 bit ..It's navigating to next page , as explained above its entering letter by letter in the user name field . can you please suggest alternative to solve this using 64 bit IE ? – Rahul Jul 01 '16 at 08:57

  • @Sudeepthi : DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer(); capabilities.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INITIAL_BROWSER_URL, ""); driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilities); using 32 bit IE and changing the settings in IE , Advanced tab , enabling enhanced protected mode worked for me !!! , Thank you so much for the help. – Rahul Jul 01 '16 at 14:57
