How to create javascript executor to make element visible in selenium webdriver

Question

Currently am working on selenium webdriver. I have many drop downs like visualization, Period, Type etc,. In the drop down many options are there. I want to select an option

Answer 1

You can try to use the following script to make element visible: document.getElementById('periodId').style.display='block';

In java code this script can be executed with the following code:

JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("document.getElementById('periodId').style.display='block';");

If you just want to select an option in drop down you can use the following java code:

Select select = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("periodId")));
select.deselectAll();
select.selectByVisibleText("Last 4 Weeks");
