Question

I have a query on mouseover action in Selenium Webdriver Java.
Consider i have a background image with id "Lfade" with opacity 0.5. If i hover the mouse then a button would be shown.
I want to click on the button to take me to another screen. How do i do this ???
I have tried this, but it does not work
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
WebElement tagElement = driver.findElement(By.id("Lfade"));
builder.moveToElement(tagElement).build().perform();
Html
div id="homeslant"
div id="wrapper"
div id="lFade" class="learn" style="opacity: 0.5; visibility: visible;"
Button
div class="descbtn"
a class="btn dwmbutton" href="/learn/index.html">KNOW MORE</a>

Answer 1

Not sure about what you are trying to do but I notice an error here:
builder.moveToElement(tagElement).build().perform();
Actually, the .perform() includes a .build().
May be you were referring to .click() so
builder.moveToElement(tagElement).click().perform()
As a pattern for your objective I would:
find the first image
move to the image
wait
find the button
click the button

Answer 2

I used Robot class for mouse hover. Please try the below code.
Robot robot = new Robot();
Point MyPoint = tagElement.getLocation();
robot.mouseMove(MyPoint.getX(), MyPoint.getY());
After that use the normal selenium click to click on the button.

Answer 3

You need to move to the button and perform a click.
Move to the image
wait
Move to the button and click
Actions act = new Actions(driver);
WebElement tagElement = driver.findElement(By.id("Lfade"));
act.moveToElement(tagElement).click().build().perform();
WebElement _button= driver.findElement(By...);
act.moveToElement(_button).click().build().perform();

Answer 4

Try this
#FindBy(xpath="//*[#id='chromemenu']/span/a") WebElement menuHoverLink;
#FindBy(xpath="//*[#id='dropmenu1']/a[1]") WebElement subLink;
Actions maction = new Actions(driver);
maction.moveToElement(menuHoverLink).build().perform();
Thread.sleep(2000);
subLink.click();

Answer 5

Use this code it will work :
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
WebElement tagElement = driver.findElement(By.id("Lfade"));
WebElement buttonElement = driver.findElement(By.classname("btn"));
builder.moveToElement(tagElement).moveToElement(buttonElement).click().perform();

Try this
public void HoverAndClickObject(WebDriver driver, String property1, String property2, String path) throws SAXException, IOException, ParserConfigurationException
{
//get object properties from the xml file repository
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
String[] element1 = xmlParser(path, property1);
String[] element2 = xmlParser(path, property2);
switch (element1[0].toUpperCase())
{
case "XPATH":
driver.findElement(By.xpath(element1[1])).click();
action.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath(element2[1]))).click().build().perform();
break;
case "ID":
driver.findElement(By.id(element1[1])).click();
break;
case "NAME":
driver.findElement(By.name(element1[1])).click();
break;
case "LINKTEXT":
driver.findElement(By.linkText(element1[1])).click();
break;
case "CSSSELECTOR":
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(element1[1])).click();
break;
}
}
