 Alert alt = driver.switchTo().alert(); // to move control to alert popup

 alt.accept(); // to click on ok.

 alt.dismiss(); // to click on cancel.

 //Then move the control back to main web page-

 driver.switchTo().window(mainPage); → to switch back to main page.

Ans- Both methods are abstract method of WebDriver interface and used to find the WebElement in a web page.

findElement() - it used to find the one web element. It return only one WebElement type.

findElements()- it used to find more than one web element. It return List of WebElements.

Ques 19) How do you achieve synchronization in WebDriver ?

Ans- We can use implicit wait.

Syntax- driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10,TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Here it will wait for 10sec if while execution driver did not find the element in the page immediately. This code will attach with each and every line of the script automatically. It is not required to write every time. Just write it once after opening the browser.

 jsx.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,4500)", ""); //scroll down, value 4500 you can change as per your req

 jsx.executeScript("window.scrollBy(450,0)", ""); //scroll up

Ans- org.openqa.selenium

Ques 35) How to check if an element is visible on the web page ?

Ans- use isDisplayed() method. The return type of the method is boolean. So if it return true then element is visible else not visible.

driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath of elemnt")).isDisplayed();

Ques 36) How to check if a button is enabled on the page ?

Ans- Use isEnabled() method. The return type of the method is boolean. So if it return true then button is enabled else not enabled.

driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath of button")).isEnabled();

String color = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text()='Shop']")).getCssValue("color");

 String backcolor = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text()='Shop']")).getCssValue("background-color");

 System.out.println(color);

 System.out.println(backcolor);

Here if both color and back color different then that means that element is in different color.

 }

 }
