"No SuchElementException was unhandled" exception in selenium

Question

driver.FindElement(By.Id("navHHome")).Click();
driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("Canon")).Click();
driver.FindElement(By.Id("searchBrand")).SendKeys("Canon AP" + Keys.Enter);
driver.FindElement(By.Id("pListSearch")).SendKeys("AP 01" + Keys.Enter);

HTML: Druckerzubehör

            <li><a itemprop="url" href="/canon/default.aspx">Canon</a></li>

I am getting an error No SuchElementException was unhandled An unhandled exception of type 'OpenQA.Selenium.NoSuchElementException' occurred in WebDriver.dll

Additional information: Unable to locate element: #searchBrand

Could any one tell me if this is rightly coded?

Thanks

Its quite clear: Unable to locate element: #searchBrand and from your HTML snippet there is no element with an id of searchBrand — LDJ, May 08 '17 at 10:20
Sounds like you are trying to select a `select` option value, which has its particularities. Look [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20138761/how-to-select-a-dropdown-value-in-selenium-webdriver-using-java), may help. — Veverke, May 08 '17 at 10:25

this code is looking for an id named "searchBrand":

driver.FindElement(By.Id("searchBrand"))

here is the HTML snippet you posted:

<li><a itemprop="url" href="/canon/default.aspx">Canon</a></li>

Do you see an element there with an id named "searchBrand"? Do you see any id's at all? I certainly don't.

When you search for an element that can't be found, it will throw a NoSuchElementException... that's the way it works.
