How do you click on a checkbox from a list of checkboxes via Selenium/Webdriver in Java?

Question

I\'m using Selenium 2 (Webdriver) for automating tests on a webpage. However I wonder if there is way to check checkbox from the list of checkboxes using webdriver framework

Answer 1

Try using this piece of code written in java

String checkboxes = "//*[@type='checkbox']";
List<WebElement> elementToClick = driver.findElements(By.xpath(checkboxes));
for (WebElement AllCheck : elementToClick) {
    AllCheck.click();
}

Answer 2

You can select each of the radio buttons/checkboxes by selecting the element which contains them and iterating through each one just like an array.

For example, here a ul element contains some radio buttons. I select the ul element first, then I can select each radio by using the correct index (inside the [])

 //Select the ul containing the radio buttons I want to click/select

   var ul = driver.FindElement(By.Id("ul_containing_radio_buttons"));

   //use forloop to click each button in turn         
   for (var i = 2; i <= 0; i--)
         {
            var button= ul.FindElements(By.TagName("input"))[i];
            //i is the index of the radio button in out ul element
            button.Click();
         }
