How to get the CSS class of a span using Selenium Web Driver in Java

Question

I have a span element like this

<span id="yui-gen56" class="ir i-doc" style="background-color: transparent;"></span>

Now I want to retrieve the class attribute value so that it should return me ir i-doc for verification. Any idea how can I get this attribute value for further verification.

Thanks in advance

You can try something like below where driver is object of WebDriver -

WebElement webElement = driver.findElement(By.id("yui-gen56"));
webElement.getAttribute("class");

Try this...

WebElement cssValue = driver.findelement(By.cssSelector("[id='yui-gen56'][class='ir i-doc']"));
String Value = divElement.getText();
System.out.println(Value);

It helped me in finding value of css class..
