selenium2 webdriver can't find the element newly created by javascript

Question

Click on a link triggers an operation that creates new element. However, calling driver.findElement(By.id("")) after click returns does not find it.

I have tried the following code to wait for the element to appear.

wait.until(new ExpectedCondition() 
{
    public Boolean apply(WebDriver webDriver) {
    System.out.println("Searching ...");
    return webDriver.findElement(By.id("itemType1")) != null;
                    }
});

But I still can't find it until timeout.

Answer 1

You can maybe use the element.isDisplayed()

Så do it like this:

WebElement jrnrText = driver.findElement(By.id("id"))
if(jrnrText.isDisplayed()){
    wait.until(presenceOfElementLocated(BY.id]("id")))
}

Function<WebDriver, WebElement> presenceOfElementLocated(final By locator) {
    return new Function<WebDriver, WebElement>() {
        public WebElement apply(WebDriver driver) {
            return driver.findElement(locator)
        }
    }
}
