We can identify elements by partially comparing to its attributes in Selenium with the help of regular expression. In xpath, there is contains () method. It supports partial matching with the value of the attributes. This method comes as useful while dealing with elements having dynamic values in their attributes.Syntax driver.findElement(By.xpath("//tagname[contains(@attributes, ’value’)]"))In CSS, we can identify elements by partially comparing to its attributes by using regular expressions. There can be three scenarios −Using ^ to target attributes starting with a particular text.Syntax −driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("tagname[attribute^=’value’]"))Using $ to target attributes ending with a particular text.Syntax −driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("tagname[attribute$=’value’]"))Using * to target attributes containing a particular text.Syntax −driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("tagname[attribute*=’value’]"))Exampleimport org.openqa.selenium.By; ...

The various important exceptions in Selenium are listed below −TimeOutException − This exception is thrown if an action does not complete in a particular duration. If the page element does not load even after the waits.driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS) ; driver.get(“https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm” );In the above program, an implicit wait of 15 seconds is added. If the page https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm doesn’t load in 15 seconds, then TimeoutException will be thrown.NoSuchElementException − This exception happens if the web element with particular attributes does not exist on the page. This exception class is a subclass of NotFoundException and is thrown if the driver is not successful in ... Read More

The different cookies method in Selenium are listed below −driver.manage().deleteAllCookies() − This removes all cookies.driver.manage().deleteCookie(Id) − This removes a particular cookie.driver.manage().deleteCookieNamed(CookieName) − This removes a particular cookie based on Name.driver.manage().getCookies() − This returns all the cookies.driver.manage().getCookieNamed(CookieName) − This returns a particular cookie based on Name.driver.manage().addCookie(Id) − This adds a particular cookie.Code Implementation with some cookies method.Exampleimport org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; public class CookiesScripting {    public static void main(String[] args) {       // TODO Auto-generated method stub       System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",    "C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\chromedriver.exe");       WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();       driver.manage().window().maximize();       // ...
