NAME

Selenium::Remote::WebElement - Representation of an HTML Element used by Selenium Remote Driver

VERSION

version 0.23

DESCRIPTION

Selenium Webdriver represents all the HTML elements as WebElement. This module provides a mechanism to represent them as objects & perform various actions on the related elements. This module should not be instantiated directly by the end user. Selenium::Remote::Driver instantiates this module when required. Typically, the find_element method in Selenium::Remote::Driver returns this object on which various element related operations can be carried out.
