    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

 

    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    driver.get("http://www.flipkart.com");

    WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='fk-top-search-box']"));

    element.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='products']/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[1]/a[1]/img")).click();

    element.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='fk-mainbody-id']/div/div[7]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[6]/div/div[3]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/form/input[9]")).click();

Answer 1

You are submitting a page and again trying to work on element identified before submitting. Your code should be as below.

 

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

 

    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    driver.get("http://www.flipkart.com");

    WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='fk-top-search-box']"));

    element.sendKeys("moto g");

    element.submit();

 

 

    driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='products']/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[1]/a[1]/img")).click();

    driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='fk-mainbody-id']/div/div[7]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[6]/div/div[3]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/form/input[9]")).click();
