Implicit Wait
------------------
Implicit Wait will wait for whole DOM (Document Object
Model) to be loaded for the specified time. If not then it
wil thoroe timeout exception.
e.g.

Explicit Wait
------------------
Explicit Wait will wait for certain condition to occur.

How to handle Alerts
----------------------------
// Wait For Alert To Come
WebDriverWait wait = new
WebDriverWait(driver,30);
Alert alert =
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
// Get the Text From the Alert
String alertText = alert.getText();
System.out.println("Alert Text :"+alertText);
alert.accept();
Or
alert.dismiss();

---------------------------------
// Store the CurrentWindow for future reference
String currentWindow = driver.getWindowHandle();
String popupWindowHandle = null;
// Switch To Popup Window
for(String handle : driver.getWindowHandles()){
if(!handle.equals(currentWindow)){
popupWindowHandle = handle;
}
}
driver.switchTo().window(popupWindowHandle);

How to scroll to element
-----------------------------------------
// Assign Object for Last Train
WebElement lastTrain =
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='divTrainsListTrainsObj']/table[1]/tbody/tr[27]/td[2
]/a"));
// Scroll to Last Train
Coordinates coordinate = ((Locatable) lastTrain).getCoordinates();
coordinate.inViewPort();
How to take snapshot
------------------------------
// Take ScreenShot
File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)
driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("D:seleniumscreenshot.png"),
true);

How to retrieve Text of all the links
-----------------------------------------
// Verify Links
List<WebElement> listOfLinks = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
String linkText[] = new String[listOfLinks.size()];
int i=0;
for(WebElement l1: listOfLinks){
// Get Link Text
linkText[i] = l1.getText();
System.out.println(linkText[i]);
i++;
}
// Click on Links
for(String t : linkText){
driver.findElement(By.linkText(t)).click();
if(driver.getTitle().contains("Under Construction")){
System.out.println(t+" : Link is under construction");
}
driver.navigate().back();
}
