My application HTML5 date picker is used.
We need to select the date from that date picker, but the date picker doesn't have any web element in the DOM.
Due to that, we are unable to select the date.
How can I solve this problem?
<form action="/action_page.php">
Date:
<br>
<input type="date" name="date">
<br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
this is our html 5 date picker code.
There will be many approaches but suggesting sendKeys approach.
If we see the DOM of the Date Picker control, there is only input box for date. To handle this type of control first fill date with string, i.e. if date format is MM/dd/yyyy, then pass 09282018 to the input box. Note, this will be depends on your date format.
WebElement date = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//form//input[@name='date']"));
//Fill date as format, ie, MM/dd/yyyy
date.sendKeys("09282018");
date.submit();
