How to get css class name using Selenium?

Question

I am new in selenium testing. I want to get the css class name using selenium. I am using eclipse and Java for development.

<table > <tr class="odd"><td>Odd row</td></tr> <tr class="even"><td>Even row</td></tr> <tr class="odd"><td>Odd row2</td></tr> <tr class="even"><td>Even row2</td></tr>        </table> 

Is there any way to get the class name 'odd' or 'even' using selenium? I

Answer 1

From a WebElement you can use the getAttribute method like this:

element.getAttribute("class") 

Answer 2

Yes, you can use getAttribute(attributeLocator) function for the your requirement.

 selenium.getAttribute(//xpath@class); 

Specify the Xpath of the element for which you require to know the class of.

Thanks.
