Selenium2 WebDriver Ruby => how click on a hidden link

Question

I use Selenium 2 WebDriver on Ruby.

How it is possible click on hidden link, with css (display: none)? the link is submenu and is visible when mouse over on menu.

Answer 1

WebDriver emulates user actions, and doesn't allow clicking elements that a user wouldn't be able to click.

So you should do what a user would do: mouse over the menu before clicking. In Ruby you could do e.g.:

menu = driver.find_element(:id => "menu")
submenu = driver.find_element(:id => "submenu")

driver.action.move_to(menu).click(submenu).perform

The ActionBuilder class (returned by Driver#action) is documented here.
