Best way to check that element is not present using Selenium WebDriver with java

Question

Im trying the code below but it seems it does not work... Can someone show me the best way to do this?

public void verifyThatCommentDeleted(final String text         


        

Answer 1

public boolean isDisplayed(WebElement element) {
        try {
            return element.isDisplayed();
        } catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
            return false;
        }
    }

If you wan t to check that element is displayed on the page your check should be:

if(isDisplayed(yourElement){
...
}
else{
...
}
