testing - Selenium: Can I set any of the attribute value of a WebElement in Selenium?

Question

I have a WebElement, I want to reset its an attribute's value to some other value (for e.g. attr is the attribute, and I want to change its original value=1 to new value=10).

Is it possible? I am using Selenium 2.0 (WebDriver.)

Answer 1

You would have to use the JavascriptExecutor class:

WebDriver driver; // Assigned elsewhere
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("document.getElementById('//id of element').setAttribute('attr', '10')");
