How to click Image icon using selenium webdriver

Question

I am trying to click the image icon via xPath but when i run the code the link present on image icon is not opening. could you please help me in resolving this issue.

The Code i used to click the mail icon :

   driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='e-switcher-mail-icon']")).click();

Answer 1

As slanec said more information is required or might be the element is not loaded. If u feel that the element has loaded and still its not happening, using java script is one way to click the image element.

Something like this

WebElement element = driver.findElement (By.xpath ("//*[@id='e-switcher-mail-icon']"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
executor.executeScript ("arguments[0].click();" , element);
