Identifying location and size of the object

Identifying location and size of the object

In some Cases you need to find where the object exactly located in the webpage(x coordinate and Y- coordinate) and Size(width and height)

Use the below code to get the objects(Elements) location and size

In this example i am writing code to identify the Google Page Search Box location and  Size

First Identify the WebElement:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("http://google.com");

//First identify the WebElement to which you want the location and size

WebElement ele=driver.findElement(By.name("q"));

Location:

ele.getLocation(); method should be used to get the location of the object

The return type of the getLocation() method is “Point” class instance

After creating object to getLocation object we can use getx() and getY() method to get x-coordinate and Y-coordinate

Return Type of getX() and getY() is integer.

Point point=ele.getLocation();

int x=point.getX();

int y=point.getY();

System.out.println(x);

System.out.println(y);

Size:

ele.size(); method should be used to get the Size of the object

The return type of the getSize() method is “Dimension” class instance

After creating object to getLocation object we can use getHeight() and getWidth() method to get Height and Width respectively.

Dimension dim=ele.getSize();

dim.getHeight();

dim.getWidth();

                               

System.out.println(dim.getHeight());

System.out.println(dim.getWidth());
