Your welcome. You can join my live training to learn more concepts about xpath etc here - selectorshub.com/selectorshub-training/
You have guided to select iFrames using selenium switch_to command, but after selecting there is a need to unselect the frame as well to start working with elements in the default screen, for this we need to type driver.switch_to.default_content() inorder to unselect the selected frame. Thanks
thank you very much! Do you help a lot!

Thank you! But even in debugger mode, I get the tag and when I click on the div to expand, it disappears. So I am getting an empty list.
Thank you❤
thanks!
Hi it is very useful but what to do if I have to get xpath for a suggestion which occur while searching any item through search box in flipkart , because as soon as I right click that suggestion it get gets disappear .
With the help of SelectorsHub Debugger feature you can inspect any kind of dynamic drop-down, suggestions dropdown and dynamic element. Here I have shown flipkart example- th-cam.com/video/nB8QA68PwvQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ubhYW2XurKMS_HvP
Just freeze the page from sources in devtool and your dropdown will not going to collapse. And you can check and find any element locator.
Hi actully in some popover dropdowns when we rightclick on the dropdown element,that element will get selected.so how to handle that one
Use SelectorsHub debugger feature for that.
Sir in gobibo when I am click on from and enter the suggestion then it is showing the autosuggestion but when right click then its disappear.
how to find xpath of such element
Please follow this video-
th-cam.com/video/CW00y97mXBA/w-d-xo.html
Sir what if as we right click on the element and download starts and we are not able to inspect the element
Sure, you can use the SelectorsHub Debugger feature for such elements. Follow this tutorial - th-cam.com/video/TlnTG641i_o/w-d-xo.html
what if there is ::after pseudocode in the ::after and the dropdownlist only appears when we click on the arrow which is ::after and it is not interactable when we try to automate it even with the selectorshub
This is a pseudo element which can’t be located through locators as you mentioned well. So for this you will have to figure out if there is any element on which by clicking dropdown will appear.
@@SelectorsHub yes its an arrow inside a div tag and i don't know any other way to find it other than inspect tool. Its not an anchor tag, or any other clickable element, when i use the inspect element arrow it focuses to the :after code on html section.
Thank you for your quick response btw.

And how to write the method so Selenium can open that link:
