Java selenium click element not working

Question

I want to click the load More link in a page. My code is below.

pageUrl="http://www.foundpix.com/category/actor/bollywood-actor/"

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get(pageUrl);

driver.manage().window().maximize();

JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

jse.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,2500)", "");

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 60);

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("json_click_handler")));

driver.findElement(By.id("json_click_handler")).click();

How can I make it click the link.

You can use below xpath to click Load More button both the times:-

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='blocks-left']/div/div[3]/div[contains(.,'Load More')]")).click();

this button change the location after you click on it and it can be clicked twice so:

before the first click use

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id="blocks-left"]/div/div[3]/div")).click();

after first click,you can use

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id="blocks-left"]/div/div[3]/div[2]")).click();

Maybe come at it from a different angle. Do you really need to have the link clicked or do you have some Javascript function that gets called on click of the link (like window.loadMore). Can you call the function directly? Selenium is a bit annoying in the sense you can only click a visible element (I don't mean it has to be in the viewport - it just can't have a style like display:none;).
