Switch between browser tabs using Selenium WebDriver with Java

Question

I need to switch between the browser tabs, used the following code,

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(\"body\")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL +\"\\t\");
         


        

Answer 1

Switching between browser window is different from switching b/w tabs.

In some browser windowhandler command may work but it wont work in all browser.

Here is the solution to navigate b/w tabs

for navigating left to right side:

Actions action= new Actions(driver);
action.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).sendKeys(Keys.TAB).build().perform();

For navigating right to left :

Actions action= new Actions(driver);
action.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).keyDown(Keys.SHIFT).sendKeys(Keys.TAB).build().perform();
