All about accessing check boxes using web driver

In all my previous examples we checked how we can extract, Locate and input data for various web input types. In this example lets see about the "Check Boxes". How we can locate, Print  the values, get the count ect.. Below code has different aspects of how we can access check boxes. 

import java.util.List;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;

public class Test3 {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

//Locate the element and gets the check boxes count 

WebDriver A = new FirefoxDriver();

A.get("http://www.echoecho.com/htmlforms09.htm");

List<WebElement> B = A.findElements(By.xpath("//table[3]/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/input"));

int count = B.size();

System.out.println(count);

//Prints the values inside the check box

for (int i = 0; i <count; i++) {

System.out.println(B.get(i).getAttribute("Value"));

   }

//Clicking on each check box in a loop 

for (int j = 0; j < count; j++) {

B.get(j).click();

System.out.println("Clicked On"+ B.get(j).getAttribute("Value"));

     }

//Checks if the values are clicked already 

for (int k = 0; k < count; k++) {

if (B.get(k).getAttribute("checked") != null)

System.out.println(B.get(k).getAttribute("value")+"--- Is Cecked");

else 

System.out.println(B.get(k).getAttribute("value")+"---Is not checked"); 

  }

//Reset the check boxes unchecked status if they are already clicked

for (int u = 0; u < count; u++) {

if (B.get(u).getAttribute("checked") != null)

B.get(u).click();} 

System.out.println("After Reseting");

//Check initially if values are checked or not in a loop 

for (int k = 0; k < count; k++) {

if (B.get(k).getAttribute("checked") != null)

System.out.println(B.get(k).getAttribute("value")+"--- Is Cecked");

else 

System.out.println(B.get(k).getAttribute("value")+"---Is not checked");                                                                                     }

}

}

The output of this program is 

3

Butter

Cheese

After Reseting
