How do I click a javascript:void(0) button in SeleniumWebdriver Java?

Question

I am having difficulty clicking a Javascript:void(0) button with an "x" text in Selenium Java.

<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="aui-button aui-button-link aui-restfultable-delete aui-restfultable-delete-small" original-title="Delete resolved">x</a>

It is a small x button that opens up another window to confirm delete but I am unable to get to the confirm window in Selenium using Java.

At the moment I have used the below but all came up with errors.

driver.findElement(By.linkText("x")).click();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#request-types-table a.aui-restfultable-delete-small").click();

Any suggestions? Thank you.

Have you tried switching to alert ?? Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert(); alert.accept(); — Madhu V Rao

Thank You! I can see that it is working because it is highlighting but the first x is disabled, how do I get Selenium to move to second x without moving to the next step altogether?

you can use findElements which returns a list of matching elements and get the second one

For example, there are 5 x's in total, the first one is disabled hence when I use the above code I displayed the option is "Disabled", how do I move to the next x instead of moving on to something else?

My guess is that the locator below is unique on the page.

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[original-title='Delete resolved']")).click();
