Open X number of navigation or footer links in new tabs without moving from the original tab with Selenium Webdriver?

Question

How may I open X number of navigation or footer links in new tabs without moving from the original tab with Selenium Webdriver?

Answer 1

You can identify all X number of navigation or footer links from your page and keep it under List of WebElement.

Store current window handle into a String variable.

Now you can iterate though the List and use below code to open links in new tab

 

Using context menu

 

Actions at=new Actions(driver);

 at.moveToElement(element);

 at.contextClick(element).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ENTER).build().perform();

 

OR

 

String selectLinkOpeninNewTab = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,Keys.RETURN); 

element.sendKeys(selectLinkOpeninNewTab);

 

 

Hope that helps.
