Within the code snippet below, it is evident that using the WebElement.click() method successfully triggers an element, while the JavascriptExecutor.executeScript method encounters issues (although it works in most cases).
WebElement e = driver.findElement(By.xpath("......."));//some kind of checkbox
e.click(); //works fine.
((JavascriptExecutor) aw.driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();",e);
//executes with no exception, but the element is not selected.
Unfortunately, the page's source code is too intricate to include in this post.
Any suggestions or ideas for troubleshooting this issue?
The element in question is an extjs-style checkbox with the following HTML code:
<td class="x-grid3-hd x-grid3-cell x-grid3-td-checker x-grid3-cell-first " style="width: 20px;">
<div class="x-grid3-hd-inner x-grid3-hd-checker" id="ext-gen108" unselectable="on" _nodup="30805">
<div class="x-grid3-hd-checker" _nodup="30805" />
</div></td>Various attempts have been made to interact with the td, td/div, td/div/div elements, but the outcome remains consistent: WebElement.click() functions correctly, while JavascriptExecutor.executeScript encounters difficulties (no explicit error, but the checkbox remains unchecked).
