   <td id="Table " onmouseover="this.className='menulevel1hl' ; " onmouseout="this.className='menulevel1norm' "  class="menulevel1norm " onclick="PopupWin( 'Left',divMenu2014,this, '.menuitempopuprownormal', '.menuitempopuprowhighlight', '', '.menuitempopupscroll'); ">     &nbsp;Sales Order&nbsp;   </td>

      <DIV  myonclick="window.parent.location.href='/smcfs/console/shipment.search' ; "> Outbound Shipment Console</DIV>
   </div>

I am trying to click on Ship Order Console. Please find the code below

WebElement ele1 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//tr[@id='mytr']/td[4]"));
ele1.click();
WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='divMenu2014']/div[1]"));
String js = "arguments[0].style.height='auto'; arguments[0].style.visibility='visible';";
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript(js, ele); 
System.out.println("element is " + ele.getText());
ele.click();

When I am printing the ele.gettext(), I am getting "sales order console", but when I am trying to click on it it is moving to inventory tab.

Could any one point out where it is going wrong?

You can try WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(@myonclick,'window.parent.location.href') and contains(text(),'Outbound Shipment Console')]"));ele.click(); — Learner

When you post HTML please take a minute to use a beautifier like jsbeautifier.org to properly format it. It makes it a LOT easier to read which makes your question more likely to get answered. Same goes for code. Please clean it up and properly indent it before posting. Thanks! — JeffC

Check this link to set attribute to web element, How to use javascript to set attribute of selected web element using selenium Webdriver using java?

Alternatively, you can click using Javascript without making it visible. I have used CSS selector for your element.

executor.executeScript("$(\"div#divMenu2014>div\").click();");
