Selenium 2.0 Found Element But Unable To Click - selenium

I am using Selenium 2.0 for C# to find a radio button and click it. The code is as below:
IWebElement t = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//table[#id='ctl00_Main__objObjectivesFeedback_ctl39']/tbody/tr/td[2]/input[#type='radio']"));
t.Click();
If I do a Console.Write(t.GetAttribute("name")), it returns the correct element name, however, click does not work.
Btw, I am using FireFox 3.6.20.

Try
t.SendKeys(Keys.Space);
If it works the only downside is SendKeys does not wait for the page to finish loading if the event caused the page to reload. Usually not a problem for radio buttons but it's something to keep in mind.

How can I reach the elements of the appeared pop-up using selenium?

In the following ecommerce site "https://www.gittigidiyor.com/", I want to click on "giris yap" button using selenium java but the problem is whenever I hover the mouse to profile icon, this pop-up appears and i try to inspect the pop-up to see the element but nothing happened. Could you please help me how can i click the buttons of this pop-up. I tried by switching to alert/frame but it did not workopened login popup in the site
driver.get("https://www.gittigidiyor.com")
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("[title=\"Giriş Yap\"]")).click()
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("[data-cy=\"header-login-button\"]"))).click();
To find the element use below technique:
To search xpath of such dynamic elements use DOM break points:
And select break on subtree modification. Now all changes will break and pause the webpage rendering
Click resume execution or press f8 till your span gets displayed

Is the Selenium click() recognized as human or automation?

My scenario which produces the question goes something like below:
I enter a webpage via normal means, next I press on a button, to start a HTML5 application on this webpage, this application is inside an iFrame. On application start I'm being prompted to either turn the sound on or off. At this point there are two possible outcomes:
1. When I answer this prompt manually, new buttons appear in the application window, as expected.
2. When I answer this prompt through automation via Appium, new buttons do not appear.
Now to the question:
To answer the prompt I use the click() method from Selenium. Is it possible that this click() is not considered to be executed by a human and therefore doesn't trigger necessary things? And since I don't have access to the source of the application can I force the Selenium click() to look exactly like a human click?
Here is the code I use to execute the mentioned click:
//Application loading up, hence the sleep
Thread.sleep(5000);
AppiumTestBase.getDriver().switchTo().frame("e_iframe");
Thread.sleep(5000);
WebElement soundOff = AppiumTestBase.getDriver().findElement(By.id("soundOff"));
AppiumTestBase.getStandardWaitTime().until(elementToBeClickable(soundOff));
soundOff.click();
The program is able to find and switch in to the iFrame, there are no cross-origin issues either. The AppiumTestBase is just there for initializing the driver, setup capabilities etc. I also tried clicking the element via Actions and JavaScript, but there was no change in behavior.
In C# a workaround I've found to actually take control of the mouse and move it/click with it is to use "Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting" for the Keyboard/Mouse libraries. From there, you can tell it "Mouse.Click(new Point(X, Y));"and it will move your mouse to that location and click.
Sample Code:
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting;
var soundOff = AppiumTestBase.getDriver().findElement(By.id("soundOff"));
Mouse.Click(new Point(soundOff.Bounds.X, soundOff.Bounds.Y));

Element not visible as both the menu and submenu hidden

I want to open cric info and then click on 'live score'menu when the submenu opens, click on 'Desktop scoreboard'.
But the problem is live score menu is under a div which is hidden.
ie and this div is under td
"You can check the structure of the page to get detailed info"
so when i try to click the menu element using driver.findElementBy("xpath") i got the element not visible exception.
So i directly used the javascript used by the developer mopen('m2') which does the job of opening the menu but after this when i execute the command to find the submenu element again get the same error"Element not visible exception".
Tried making div visible by executing jscript.
PFB the code i used:
FirefoxDriver d1=new FirefoxDriver();
d1.get("http://www.cricinfo.com");
((JavascriptExecutor) d1).executeScript("mopen('m2')");
((JavascriptExecutor) d1).executeScript("document.getElementById('m2').style.visibility='visible';");
((JavascriptExecutor) d1).executeScript("document.getElementById('m2').style.display='block';");
d1.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
d1.findElementByXPath("//*[#id='mgDdRht']/tbody/tr[3]/td/a").click();
Also tried using the Actions class but everything in vain ,help is really appreciated
Thanks in advance.
You should be able to do this with an Action chain:
Actions builder = new Actions(d1);
Action clickSubMenu = builder.moveToElement(d1.findElement(By.cssSelector(".Nav td:nth-child(2).navLinks")))
.moveToElement(d1.findElement(By.cssSelector("#m0 td:nth-child(1)#mgDd>table:nth-child(1)>tbody:nth-child(1) td:nth-child(2).PopupTabs")))
.click(d1.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='mgDdRht']/tbody/tr[3]/td/a"))).build();
clickSubMenu.perform();
I tested this in c#, and it worked for me. I translated it to Java, but I may have made a syntactical error. Apologies if I have.
What I found is that I needed to move to Series. Then I had to move to Series - the dropdown version, as the dropdown version of Series is a different element than the non-dropdown version. Then I was able to move to the West Indies link, and click it.

Selenium IDE can't scroll a page by museOver or focus a locator but page does scrolled when click "Find" button

I'm testing AJAX app using selenium IDE and got many problems on scrolling page.
Some elements can't be interacted with until they are visible.
I saw some articles on web mentioned this can be done by click/mouseOver/focus on the locator but all not working for me.
however, the page does scrolled when I click "Find" button on Selenium IDE to find the locator..
is there any way to simulate the click of Find button?
any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.
It sounds like by visible, you mean actually finished loading. What you can do is for the element you want to interact with, put a command "waitForElementPresent" for the element:
waitForElementPresent | <elementid>
click | <elementid>
Thus, the test will wait for the element to be loaded before the interaction.

Use of 'ClickAt ' selenium command

I'm confused about the difference between the Click and ClickAt commands in selenium. Where can I use the ClickAt command?
Here are what Selenium IDE says about those two commands :
click(locator) Arguments:
locator : an element locator
Clicks on a link, button, checkbox or
radio button. If the click action
causes a new page to load (like a link
usually does), call waitForPageToLoad.
And :
clickAt(locator, coordString) Arguments:
locator : an element locator
coordString : specifies the x,y position (i.e. - 10,20) of the mouse
event relative to the element returned
by the locator.
Clicks on a link, button, checkbox or
radio button. If the click action
causes a new page to load (like a link
usually does), call waitForPageToLoad.
click is used when you just want to "click" on an element, like a button, a link, ...
And clickAt is used when you want to "click" on a position designated by mouse coordinates.
I suppose the second one can be useful for some "rich" applications -- I've actually never used it... On the other hand, I use click like all the time.
If you have a page with form elements, links, buttons, and stuff like that, you'll probably generally use click : it's way easier to find an element using it's id or classname than having to find it's position in pixels on the page ^^
I noticed some differences between click() and clickAt() when testing a ExtJS app.
For example, if I try to click a tab in a Ext.TabPanel, click() command does not work, although I provide it with an correct xpath, and clickAt() works fine.
Code looks like this:
click("//li[#id='tab-panel-id__second-tab-id']/a[2]/em/span/span")
doesn't work, but
clickAt("//li[#id='tab-panel-id__second-tab-id']/a[2]/em/span/span","0,0")
works.
Notice that coordinates are (0,0)
I can't figure out why this happens...
I'm testing a GWT application and it seems like I have to use clickAt if I want to click on a node in a tree widget.
Be careful when testing clickAt. Sometimes double clicking the command will cause it to show up red. You will change the line to try other alternatives but nothing will work. But then run your script and the clickAt line will be fine with whatever you type in.
There is a dojo widget at our application which only works with clickAt("//span[#id='mastheadIconBar']/span[1]/span/span","0,0").
Don't know why, but only click("//span[#id='mastheadIconBar']/span[1]/span/span") does not work.
